“I’m answering this phone for my friend who tells me it’s your nature to hang up and not leave a message, but I should remind you that nature is what we are put on this earth to rise above. So please, leave a message at the sound of the beep… for the sake of anthropology.”
You can’t call someone back if you don’t have their number. It seems basic, but it’s easy to forget. So a quick reminder can go a long way.

Let callers know that your business is closed but their call is still important. With after hours business voicemail greetings, you can give them emergency options or a commitment to call them back by allowing callers to leave a voicemail for an employee or department.
See, how the VPN service provider offers multiple options for the callers to fulfill their needs. Those seeking immediate solutions can go for the live chat, and those with less pressing issues can wait or choose to be called back.
If it works better for you, offer your callers the option to email you, or even send over a text to a VoIP texting app, or even your personal number if you don’t mind. Many people will prefer the ability to quickly text or email, and callers will appreciate the increased level of service.
It’s frustrating enough to reach a voicemail… being helpful and friendly will go a long way and reduce annoyance!
