Forget about messing around with apps. There’s a powerful voicemail handling system built into nearly every big carrier today — and that system almost always includes a system for recording a voice message and sending it directly without ringing the target phone. I will walk you through the process of doing this on Straight Talk (since that happens to be my carrier) but most carriers will have similar systems.
True emergencies - such as extraordinary weather - should be addressed in your voicemail if it impacts your business. Thank you for calling the Carona Surf Shop. We are currently closed due to the inclement weather. Our normal business hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 am to 9 pm. Please visit www.caronasurfshop.com to order merchandise and to check our schedule during the hurricane.
-Hello, this is ________. I’m not home right now, but I can take a message. Hang on a second while I get a pencil. (Open a drawer and shuffle stuff around.) OK, what would you like me to tell me?
I wish that I’d read this a few years ago. I think that we all have a few voicemails that we wish that we could keep forever, but I lost a few a couple years ago. I think that my current system stores them in a digital messaging system, like you mentioned, so they should be able to be saved. Thanks for the post!

To get in touch with your friends, you had to call their home phone and if they weren't there, leave a message. Voicemails were ubiquitous, and we didn't think twice about leaving them. Now, texting is so common that most of us never leave voicemails, let alone set up our own. But it's worthwhile to have a voicemail on your iPhone. For one, if you miss a call from a potential employer, it'll sound more professional than whatever the default robot-voice message is. It's also good to have in the event that someone important, like your doctor, boss, or lawyer, calls. Luckily, setting up your voicemail on an iPhone is incredibly simple. Here's how to do it. How to set up voicemail on your iPhone 1. Open the Phone app on your iPhone. It's green with an image of a phone, and it's located in the dock at the bottom of your Home Screen by default. 2. Click on the "Voicemail" icon in the bottom right-hand corner. iPhone 0 Jamie Friedlander/Business Insider iPhone 1.PNG Jamie Friedlander/Business Insider 4. If you don't have a voicemail already set up, "Default" will be checked. iPhone 2.PNG Jamie Friedlander/Business Insider 7. Once you begin recording, you'll see the line turn red. This indicates how much time you have left. iPhone 3.PNG Jamie Friedlander/Business Insider 9. To listen to your recording, click "Play" on the left-hand side of the screen. 10. Once you're happy with your recording, click "Save" on the top right-hand corner. 11. If you'd like to double check that it worked, try calling your number using someone else's phone.

I’ve got you covered. I’ve compiled some of the best voicemail greetings you can use for virtually any situation you’ll come across.
Besides creating an audio file in the right format (Adaptive Multi-Rate), you also need to trick the iPhone to upload your new greeting to the AT&T servers:
20. "Hey there, this is [your name] from [your company]. I'm out of the office until [date]. In the meantime, please direct your inquiries to [coworker's name] at [email address]. They can also be reached at [phone number]. Thank you."
Note: If Greeting that lets callers know you'll be away for an extended period of time is selected, the call answering rules previously recorded are ignored and only the greeting recorded for this option is played.
We’re sorry to hear about this, if you can reach out to us on [email protected] with your details we can try to assist you further, however, we would need to confirm if you are able to manually access your voicemail through your phone. We can’t provide assurance or support for third party applications. However, if you encounter issues with manually accessing your voicemail through your phone we can assist with that 🙂
6. Full Waiting Queue Message. What the caller hears when the waiting queue is full. Sample Scripts: “We are currently experiencing high call volume. Please leave a message with your name and phone number and we will return your call as soon as possible.”
With voicemail all set up, you can now access and listen to your messages. In the Phone app next to the Voicemail tab, you’ll see a badge with a number, which represents the unheard messages you have. To listen to your messages, open Phone app and tap Voicemail at the lower right side of the screen.
