The telephone in American families generally have the message prompt function, which is when the stranger calls, if the owner was not at home, nobody answered the phone, the phone will automatically broadcast a message, the content is usually: sorry, no one at home, after you hear "beep" sound, the name and the telephone number of your stay, after I went home, to call you right away. Because this suggests too dull, many Americans are prepared to use their own tips.

美国家庭中的电话机一般都有留言提示功能，也就是当外人打入电话时，如果主人不在家，电话没人接，电话机会自动播送一段提示，内容通常是：抱歉，家里没人，请您听到“嘟”的一声之后，将您的姓名与电话号码留下来，我回家之后，马上给您回电话。由于这样的提示过于平淡，许多美国人都使用自己编写的提示。
