Can I get an answerphone with several answer messages?

Greetings all!
I'm trying to find a landline phone where I can record several different answer messages for different circumstances (eg. just popped out, gone on holiday, ring my mobile etc.). I can then press a button or whatever to pick the one I want callers to hear.
I would've thought in this digital age it would've been vey simple, but all the ones I've looked at only have a facility to record ONE message, so I would have to change it every time if I wanted to do this.
Does such an answer phone exist?
Many thanks! : )

You really don't want to give cold-callers info about how long your home is unattended! Your closest friends & relatives will have your mobile number & the initiative to use it if their call is urgent. Just use the generic female "we're not available to take your call" message that's built into the machine, then no-one who doesn't know you gets any personal information you'd rather they didn't have.0

And the people you want to speak to,ie family etc will know your mobile number so I wouldn't worry about it.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0
