Description:When listening to messages (before or after the actual message playback) it is possible to change folders by pressing '2'.  Although this is a desirable piece of functionality, it is not described in the help dialogs, so unless a user happens to try it, they will never know it is available at that time.  I would like to suggest changing the recording that says:

"Press 5 to repeat the current message. Press 7 to delete this message, press 8 to forward the message to another user, or 9 to save this message. Press * for help or # to exit."

And add "Press 2 to change folders"

I don't know if I agree with this.  The way this menu works, it allows more than is present in the prompt (but it is noted in another prompt), to keep a "logical flow".

You'll also note that they have the ability to press 3, 4, 6, etc here.  It seems a bit silly to me, to have all these items in the prompt, when it's already handled elsewhere.  Consider it a "power user" shortcut.

Understood.  This request is from a customer that has a large user base that is used to knowing what options they have at a particular prompt (to make the system as usable as possible).   I'll defer the argument for this prompt to them.

Closing, per my previous comment.

If this is needed, you could always have Allison record said prompt for that customer.
