Abstract
A method for automatically transmitting a greeting message in a telephone answering system contemplates the steps of: recording a greeting message in response to input of a recording key; detecting a hook-off state in response to an incoming call; determining whether a greeting message transmitting function is set by checking a logic state exhibited by a function flag, in response to detection of the hook-off state; and automatically transmitting the greeting message to a caller when the greeting message transmitting function is set.
