Voice Mail Scripts For Office or Home

 
The following links will bring you to pages containing scripts you can use as the outgoing message in your office voice mail or home answering machine. They are spoken in snchitsu'umshtsn km . You will be able to hear them played in full by clicking on the t'uuk'wip, ('play') button, or click on individual words to hear them alone. This way you can listen as many times as you need, and practice so that you can record yourself in your voice mail message. We welcome requests for additional scripts to meet your individual department's needs. Give us the English and we will work it into a snchitsu'umshtsn ln script. Just give us a call (x5051), or E-Mail: Kim Matheson

script 1
script 1b

script 2
script 3
script 4

If a script is too overwhelming to learn, it would be great to at least add lim lemt.sh km ~ 'thank you' to the end of an English greeting. Drop us a quick e-mail if you decide to put a little bit of Coeur d'Alene in your voice mail, we'd like to know.
