Recording voicemail greetings for your business or personal life requires a separate list of priorities, because they are being used for two distinct purposes and will be heard by two very different types of callers. I have a friend with two cell phones - one for work, and one for personal calls - and if you call both lines, you would never know it's the same person. While the message on his personal line might not be ideal, he took the time to record a professional voicemail message for his business phone, which makes it stand out.
Setting up visual voicemail on an iPhone is straightforward. First, check if your carrier allows for visual voicemail; many major providers do.

You can also delete messages without having to dial into the normal voicemail system. Unfortunately, UK networks have been slow to adopt Visual Voicemail, and it currently just seems to be O2, EE and Orange that offer it to iPhone users. It’s not available from major networks such as 3 and T-Mobile (even though T-Mobile is now owned by EE).
But what’s really great about Samsung’s way of dealing with voicemails is the new and improved Visual Voicemail service. This lets you view voice mail messages and listen to them in any order you want. Instead of listening to all of them in order, you can pick the ones you’re interested in. Even more, you can decide to erase or archive them, all from your device screen. Visual Voicemail also includes button shortcuts to call back or text a person that left you a voicemail.
