DigitalJetstream provides the option of recording a message so that an offnet number can be notified who the call is coming from. For example, a salesperson may have their simultaneous ring set to include an answering service while they are on vacation. They can record a message to the effect of "You have a call from Salesperson of Example Company", so the answering service would know the proper way to answer the call.
