I have 2 messages recorded designated as 1 and 2
I have successfully switched back and forth between the two messages.
I think that if you only record one greeting, no matter which numeric value you pick, you will hear that lone recording.
I could be wrong though.
I was wrong only once in my life.....It was when I thought I had made a mistake.
The VM prompts do need some cleanup because the use of the words "press 2 to save the message" is confusing because she really should be saying Press 2 to SEND this message.
Experiment with recording and saving a few recordings under different numbers, then activate each one and call yourself.
From my days in the Bell System we would always put a message number at the end of each distinct recording so we could identify routing issues when they cropped up.
1 - Hi this is Bob, leave a message.....blah, blah.....Recording 1
2. Hi this Bob, leave a message....blah...blah....Recording 2
and so on and so forth.
Only way to truly test without driving yourself crazy.
