Optional Announcement of Total Messages Time
The system can also announce the total time the messages last.
This feature can be turned on or off for each subscriber. A subscriber
could hear an announcement like this when first checking messages:
“You have 3 new messages, totaling 3 minutes, 20 seconds.”
The time for messages is also announced when the subscriber
moves to a new source of messages in the message stack. For
example:
“Amy Ronk left 3 new messages, totaling 5 minutes, 40 seconds.
Would you like to hear them?”
To streamline the conversation, the time announcement is rounded
up to the next highest 10 seconds. For example, a message lasting
22 seconds is announced as lasting 30 seconds.
To turn message length announcement on for a subscriber, include L in
the Access field on the subscriber Personal Directory page. Refer to
Figure 9-11 Personal Directory Page, with Message Time Announcement
on.

After Each Message Is Played
After each message, the system announces when the message was
recorded:
“...recorded <date> at <hour>:<minute> <am/pm>.”
The system announces the date as a relative date, such as:
“recorded today at...”
or
“recorded yesterday at...”
or
“recorded three
days ago at...”
. This saves the subscriber from needing a calendar to
calculate how many days the sender has waited for a response.
