Ken, this is not correct. This is a fixed sentence:

No se puede poner is the way we say it.

ponerse al teléfono: to answer or come to the phone

¡Muchas gracias! - Gocika, Feb 10, 2010
Yes I had a feeling venir was wrong, but recado would have been right had it been an option in the question posted, I didn't notice the options. - kenwilliams, Feb 10, 2010
Because there were no options otherwise I would have answered correctly, these options were only added later in the comments. - kenwilliams, Feb 10, 2010

The missing words are venir and recado, she can't come to the phone do you want to leave a message.

Yes I wrong in as much as I didn't use the suggested options. - kenwilliams, Feb 10, 2010
No, there is "se" in the sentence and there's no "venirse" or is there? - Gocika, Feb 10, 2010
I have just had another look at the original question posted and there were no options so we didn't get all the infomation in the post . - kenwilliams, Feb 10, 2010

It's funny I hear recado online all the time but never in person. It's like Mensaje -> recado just like Inodoro _> Escusado. I'll never fully understand se it seems.

I do not get it either. The suggested options in the test were a) contestar b) poner c) hablar - Gocika, Feb 10, 2010
¿Quiere dejarle algún recado? - Gocika, Feb 10, 2010
Seems like a use of the passive tense when you are talking about someone directly so I don't get it. - jeezzle, Feb 10, 2010
Sure recado means message too, like mensaje. - jeezzle, Feb 10, 2010
