Rehearse or write down your message before recording it. Remember that old saying “practice makes perfect?” It’s certainly true when it comes to creating an electronic greeting. The more you’ve rehearsed, the easier the message will be to restate. If you don’t have time to practice, writing down the greeting before recording it – and then reading it aloud from the paper – may help you stay focused on the correct wording.

I’m glad visual voicemail is in the works. Can you provide a rough estimate as to how far into the future it may be? Thanks.
You do need a visual voicemail for the last option. That is something that is provided by your cell phone provider and most cell phone provider have it by default. if you don't see it, call them and see if you can add it.
Hi Cindi, What a beautiful idea! The easiest way to do this would be to have someone who is good at editing video or audio do this for you on their computer. Maybe a relative or someone from your local high school or college. Once the voice mails are saved as MP3s using the suggestions in the post, it would be easy to edit them using Camtasia or Movavi or any other editing software. If you don’t have anyone around, a Walgreens or Walmart store might be able to do it for you if they edit video. They might have the capability. We had a very old audio file of ours (from reel to reel!) edited and resaved onto a DVD by iMemories.com. They did an amazing job! All the best! Laura
You have the option in settings for calls to be answered either via the app itself (check off iOS Device) or by having the call forwarded to your mobile number. Either way, you are not technically doing the recording on your iPhone. It's all done on Google's servers, which handle the Voice over IP (VoIP) connection.
Can’t thank you enough!!!! I’ve been living without my voicemail for about a month, putting off fixing it or finding someone who can. Decided to Google it, found your fix it page and in under 5 minutes it’s fixed!!!
It drives me mad when I get put through to someone’s voicemail system – only to hear a message telling me that the voicemail-box is full, so I should just bugger off and leave them alone. The number of messages that your voicemail system can store will vary from network to network – Virgin provides a free voicemail option that stores just 10 messages at a time, but you have to pay extra for its VoiceMail Plus service, which stores up to 30 messages.
Make sure to keep the microphone in an appropriate angle and distance while recording. When finished, tap “Stop” and finally “Save”.
3. Force close and reopen the Phone app. To force close Phone, on iPhone X and later swipe up until you see the apps in task view, then swipe up again on Phone.
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:
Open your phone’s voicemail app, then tap (or in some cases, tap and hold) the message you want to save. You should be presented with …
10Hello, this is [your name]. I’m probably at home just avoiding someone I dislike. A funny way of telling someone you’re avoiding them without sounding offensive or having to pick their calls. Please speak very slowly, make it short, make it sweet, and I’ll deliver the message to them. Using other household appliances as stand-ins for the message center is cute and funny. This voicemail will warn callers not to bring drama, so you can save yourself the trouble of having to hear a message that was about to spoil your day.
