That actually is the case.
From the main menu 5->1 will let you record any messages 1-9.
If you already have messages recorded for later use, 5->2 will let you select your pre-recorded messages 1-9 for immediate use without the need of recording them over. This option could be used in a number of ways.
Record messages as follows (option 5 from the main menu then option 1):
- You've reached <your name here>, I'm not able to come to the phone, please leave a message.
- You've reached <your name here>, I'm out to lunch. Please leave a message and i'll call you back as soon as i return
- You've reached <your name here>, I'm on vacation. In the event of an emergency, contact <some other guy> at <some phone number>
- You've reached <your name here>, I'm currently playing super parent by being a chaperone on my child's field trip, leave me a message and i'll call you back.... if i can
Then later, you can easily select between them by choosing option 5 from the main menu then option 2 and select 1-4 respectively.
NOTE: if you don't have greeting 5 recorded, but you try to choose greeting 5, you'll get an "invalid entry" error message
I'd be interested in hearing what issues people are running into with this and other features of the VM. Or is it just the lack of documentation on it?
