With Talking Return Call, a recorded message tells you the phone number of the last person who called you – even if you were unable to answer the phone.

Then, if you want to return the call, your phone will dial that number automatically. Talking Return Call works no matter what your reason for missing the call – whether you were away from home, were busy on another line, or simply chose to ignore a Call Waiting tone.
