Visual Voicemail makes it simple for you to keep track of the messages you have received.
People have short attention spans these days, and you should always craft your communications for the lowest common denominator with something as universal as your voicemail.

Business voicemail greetings are rarely thought of as a prime way to connect with customers. But just because you're not available doesn't mean you can't make a positive impression on your customers when they reach your voicemail box.
With Call Recorder, you simply make a call from the app, and it’s automatically recorded and stored locally on your phone. From there, you can play recordings, email them, or save them elsewhere on your handset as a .wav file. Calls are made over the app’s VOIP server, rather than over your cellular network. (So just make sure you’re on a good Wi-Fi network to ensure the best call quality.)
This data usage will be taken from your data allowance when the message is received. Once the message is received, it can be listened to without any further data connection & without incurring further cost.
I’m home right now . . . I’m just screening my calls. So just start talking and if you’re someone I want to speak to I’ll pick up the phone. Otherwise, well, what can I say?
5. Switch on and switch off Airplane Mode. You can do this from either Settings or the Control Center. On iPhone X or later, swipe down from the top right of the screen (where the battery indicator is).
3. Hello, this is [your name]. I’m sorry I’ve missed your call. If you leave your name, number, and reason for calling, I’ll get back to you as promptly as possible.

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.
System administrators can configure voicemail settings for any extension in Account Manager. Individual extension users can change their voicemail settings in Work for Desktop or Virtual Office Online. To configure voicemail settings as a system administrator in 8x8 Admin Console, click here.
Voicemail messages left on your mobile are automatically saved in your Visual Voicemail. If you wish to delete a voicemail message, simply tap the Delete button. The message will be placed in the Deleted Messages folder, but will not be deleted from your voicemail (you can restore these messages later). To permanently delete messages, go to the Deleted Messages folder and select Clear All.
