"I was unhappy with our service provider for the on hold music – which is listened to by citizens calling 311, Access Calgary, or any other City service or facility. I reached out to a counterpart at WestJet and he referred me to On Air. I must say that the customer service I received from the onset at On Air was night and day from what I had previously been accustomed to. They are extremely responsive, and very customer focused. I even had a late request for some holiday music and I had a new playlist in my hands in less than 24 hours. Fantastic! And most of all, Thank you!" - Kelly Brown, Telecom Engineer, Voice and Video Solutions, The City of Calgary, Calgary, AB

A business voice mail should have several ingredients that inform. Include the name of the person whose extension was dialed, the company’s name and the department. Invite the caller to leave a message; often the caller does not realize she has reached voice mail.
Your company greeting should be created with that in mind. A strong company greeting will start the call off right, starting on a positive note while immediately getting people wherever it is that they need to go in your call navigation system.
Note: To enable visual voicemail, ask your admin to make sure you are enabled for Exchange Unified Messaging, following instructions in the Configure Skype for Business Cloud Connector Edition guide. Missed call and message notifications
