How does a group box work?
A group box is set up so every person in the house can have their own sub greeting announcement, their own set of incoming message, and their own passcode. For example, if you call someone who has a group box it will work like the following: “Hello you have reached the Smith Residence. Press 1 to leave a message for Mr. and Mrs. Smith; press 2 to leave a message for our daughter, Lisa; press 3 to leave a message for our son Bart.” If the caller presses 1, they will then hear Mr. and Mrs. Smith’s announcement: “Hi this is Mr. and Mrs. Smith, at the beep, please leave us a message and we will return your call.” If the caller presses 2, they will hear Beth’s message: “Hi this is Lisa. I am out with my friends. Please leave a message and I’ll be paged on my cell phone and call you back right away.” If the caller presses 3, they will hear Bart’s message: “I am at football practice. I will be home at 6 pm. Call me then or leave me a message.
