Let a familiar voice answer when you need a break

When she calls the one number you save in her phone, she hears your own recorded voice during the hours you choose; the rest of the time her call rings your phone, as it always has.

What you'll need

• An email address
• A credit or debit card — the $10 a month is charged to it
• A quiet place and a phone or computer with a microphone

About how long

A few minutes on the $10 plan; recording your voice takes one to three. The $20 plan's richer voice needs 30 minutes or more of recording, which you can do over time.

What it costs

$10 a month includes $10 of call credit. Calls use credit at 30¢ a minute. Unused credit rolls over and never expires.

Who is in control

You record it, you choose the hours, and you can stop any time.
