14. Hi, you’ve reached [business name]. We can’t take your call at the moment, but if you leave your name and number, the next available team member will return your call as soon as possible.

Important note: In some states, such as California, it’s illegal to record calls or conversations without permission from all parties involved. If that’s the case, ask your call participants if it’s OK if you record the conversation before you start recording. Then, ask again once you do start recording—so you have their permission on record. Alternatively, if you state “I’m recording this call for [whatever purpose]” and your contact stays on the line, that’s OK as well.
Let’s be honest, you (hopefully) set up your voicemail when you first got your phone, and it probably hasn’t changed since then. If you’re about to start job-hunting, now is the perfect time to refresh your professional voicemail greeting.
02Hello, you’ve reached [your name] of [your company/business]. I’m sorry that I’m not available to answer your call now. Please leave your details and a brief message at the tone and I’ll make sure your message reaches the right person. This is the perfect voicemail for a department’s secretary or operatory to let those calling know that their message will be delivered when you get back.
You might also consider giving them the option to skip your voicemail message completely by pressing another key (again, check with IT). You also want to make callers aware what you will return their call, instead of telling them that you will try to return their call--and let them know when you are likely to do it, if possible. If necessary, provide additional or emergency information in your voicemail greetings. My dentist, for example, lists his cell phone number for emergencies.
Hello! You’ve reached [Luke on the Customer Success Team at LinkedPhone]. Our office is currently closed but rest assured your call is very important to me. Please leave your name and number and let me know how I could be of service to you. I’ll return your call on the next business day. Thank you!

*Use the word “with” instead of “to.” It sounds more positive. You want to talk “with” the person, not give them a “talking to.” It’s a subtle difference, yet it keeps the message positive.
15. “Hi, Thanks for giving us a call! Sorry, but we are closed right now. Please leave us your name, number and the best time to reach you and we’ll get back to you within the day. Thank you.”

I’m using GSM LTE. Is there some way to “manage” my Voicemail by dialing 805-637-7249 from another phone such as a land line? If not, how can I manage my voicemail from another phone? Calling 805-637-7249 seems to only allow me to leave a message for myself, which I have no interest in doing. I tried pressing all kinds of keys like * and # and various digits. Nothing seems to put this into voicemail-management mode!
