Ideal for busy households and small businesses, the M9516 does more than
just take messages - it organizes and delivers them!  The built-in digital
answering machine and Caller ID functionality are just two of its many
time-management features.  Another exciting capability is Preferred Match
Greeting, which allows you to provide personalized greetings to callers
whose numbers you have included in your Directory.  For example, if you
have a home-based business, you can record a greeting with your company's
name and business hours for clients in your Directory; all other callers
could receive your family's standard greeting.
