5. “Hi, you’ve reached [company name]. We can’t take your call right now but we will call you back as soon as we’re available. Please leave your name, number and reason for your call. We know your time is precious, so to skip the back and forth, kindly leave a few different times of day that work best with your schedule and we will do our best to reach you then!

You can also delete messages without having to dial into the normal voicemail system. Unfortunately, UK networks have been slow to adopt Visual Voicemail, and it currently just seems to be O2, EE and Orange that offer it to iPhone users. It’s not available from major networks such as 3 and T-Mobile (even though T-Mobile is now owned by EE).
As a bonus, here is an example of our own holiday voicemail greeting here at OpenPhone:
With OpenPhone you can record your own voicemail greetings directly in the app, upload your own voice clips or simply type your voicemail script.
Important: In some countries or regions, deleted messages may be permanently erased by your carrier. Your voice messages may also be deleted if you change your SIM card.
Hello… pause. Hello… long pause. Who is this? long pause again Is anyone on the line?…long pause and beep sound.
