Assuming you only care to hear from a handful of people, open your phone’s Settings, and tap on Notifications. From here, tap on Do Not Disturb and toggle it on. Now, you can tap Allow Exceptions and add the contacts you’d like to get calls from.
A downside to these apps—they are not as simple as hitting a key on the number pad, because you have to do the extra steps to make the merge happen with the third number doing the recording. However, they can all be activated in the middle of any phone call; afterwards you get easy access to recordings in the app and can play, download, share, or export them as desired.

For most users, it’s recommended to let your device automatically set the time. To make sure that your time zone and similar settings are correct:

None of these laws are as cut and dried as they seem (Nevada's one-party consent has been viewed by the courts as an all-party consent). Play it safe: get permission on any recorded call. "Forgiveness" could get litigious and costly, and even lead to criminal charges. If you're nervous, don't record at all. The folks at Rev did a deep-dive into the laws to help drive that advice home.

And you’re done! Your CenturyLink voicemail is now set up. Whenever you have an unheard message, you'll hear a stuttered dial tone when you pick up your home phone. Take a few minutes to gather your thoughts, even jot down a few notes, and practice before you record. Before you start recording, turn off anything in the background that might cause noise. This will ensure your voice is clear and easy to understand. While clever greetings can be fun, it's worth taking a moment to think about the range of potential callers who may be leaving you voicemail. Consider the tone and image you want to project. Don't worry! If you don't like your recording, you can erase it and re-record as many times as you'd like.
