How to set up answer message

by Bill McKenzie Jul 24, 2014 4:59PM PDT

On my mobile plan, Capt. Telstra charges more than a dollar for me to access my voice mail. No, sez I, I'll leave a message telling the caller I won't be accessing voice mail and why. How do I do this - I can't find how to in the manual?

How to set up answer message

Kees, the phone is an LG E400f. It has all kinds of options for sending excuse messages but none I can find to allow me to record my own

Ah, but there is no way to have the phone do that.

This would be back on Telstra's own voice mail system and not dependent on the phone. So my bet is that it's not in the phone's manual.

Back to Telstra to find out how.

PS. Why not just let the voice mail fill up and never check it?

Bob - what a splendidly magnificent idea. After all it'snot against the law.......(or is it...?)

If so, I'm in trouble.

The message changed to something like voice mail box is full, and so on. So I took that and ran. Sure cuts the spam.

Wouldn't that depend on the type of phone you have and the version of the OS, if you want to do it on the phone? Since you post on the LG forum it seems that's what you want. Can you tell that?

And wouldn't it depend on the cell phone provider how to do it on their network? Then you ask their customer service.
