Simply speak into your phone or computer while recording a greeting with your business phone service. If you need to create your own audio file, the voice memo app on your phone should do fine.
Note that if your phone rings for any longer than a specified period (15 seconds in default), any re-direction feature that you have activated, such as voicemail or call forwarding, will come into effect. Transferring Calls To transfer a call to another extension, press the R button to get dial tone and put your current caller on hold.

9. "Hey, this is [your name]. Thanks for reaching out. I'm busy at the moment, but if you leave your name, number, and message, I'll return your call.”
If you are looking to get it completely disabled, unfotunately, this cannot be done at the moment. To disable the service temporarily, please call us or send us an email at [email protected] since there is a verification process involved so we won’t be able to resolve it here.
Your customers might need you on the holidays. If you’re a business owner, you know this already. 🙂 Manage customer expectations and let them know how to get assistance.
Calls will still technically be delivered to your phone, but your phone will not alert you to the call. This is a handset block and not a network block. You can put a network block on persistent telemarketers, but you need to contact your network provider for that. To view voicemails from blocked calls, go to Voicemail, then scroll all the way to the bottom and tap “Blocked Messages.”
I can't get to the phone before it goes to voicemail. I understand that the number of rings the caller hears is controlled by my carrier, Verizon. My husband has a Samsung Galaxy S7 purchased from Verizon and when he calls, he hears 8 rings then it goes to VM. Note that I called Verizon and they set it to 8 rings, the maximum available.
Hello! This is 1-800-PRESLEY — Yes! 1-800-PRESLEY! They say the King died 10 years ago, but we know he’s still out there somewhere. So . . . leave your name and number and tell us where *YOU* saw Elvis!
Of course, there are a few things you will always want to keep in mind when you are recording any message. First, a voicemail greeting can be your first impression, so you'll always want to take the time to think about what you'll say when you record it. You might want to write a script or just go over what you'll say in your head. Be sure to ask callers for their name, a message, and a call back number, or you might get stuck with "Hey, it's me, call me back" (I'm notorious for leaving messages like this). Be sure you practice speaking slowly and clearly as you deliver your short, to the point message. It's also a good idea to leave 1 to 2 seconds of silence before you begin speaking, so callers have time to absorb your message.

19. "Hello, you've reached [your name]. I'm currently [exploring Asia, hiking through the jungle in Costa Rica, hanging out on the beach in Bermuda] — or more likely, [recovering from extreme jet lag, googling ‘Are red spiders poisonous,' or looking for SPF 150 sunscreen] and won't be back in the office until [date]. Leave your contact info and reason for calling and I'll get in touch then."
A digital recorder is nice and all, but if you plug a recorder directly into an iPhone using a 3.5mm audio cable, you're not going to hear the call. Using the iPhone headphone jack—assuming your iPhone is so old that it even has one—cuts off the speaker. Get the Recap-C, a $99 adapter that plugs into an older iPhone's 3.5mm jack, with output to a headset as well as to a recorder. The secondary recorder—connected via a 3.5mm male-to-male auxiliary audio cable—is up to you. It could even be another iOS device (or Android or PC, but stick with the digital recorder for simplicity).
Step 6. Tap “Setup” and you will be asked to fill a voicemail number. Fill it with your phone number. Then, tap OK.
In Microsoft 365, you can record a greeting, edit call answering rules, set up Outlook Voice Access, edit text message and email notification settings, and turn on voice mail preview using Outlook on the web.
If you haven’t set up any voicemail on your iPhone, here’s how to do it step by step!
I have an old picture frame voice recorder that had a cherished voice recording on it. It was accidently deleted yesterday. Is there any way to retrieve the old recording? The recording and play button were pressed several times thinking the recording might possibly work again, but no recording was added. Is it possible to retrieve that old recording or is lost forever?
5. Voicemail greetings for holidays. Your customers might need you on the holidays. If you’re a business owner, you know this already. 🙂 Manage customer expectations and let them know how to get assistance.
Departments and teams are typically organized by function – customer service, tech support, sales, billing questions, etc. When a team is busy handling other calls, encourage your callers to leave a message and reassure them that you will get back to them within a reasonable time frame. It’s important that you actually follow through to avoid upsetting your callers.
