The biggest reason voicemail has become so passed? There are just better, faster, more convenient ways to get a message to someone: like via text, iMessage, or WhatsApp. Voicemail also takes a relatively long time to access. You can quickly glance a text message, but with a voicemail you often have to log into to retrieve the message and then listen to the sender ramble for dozens of seconds about something they could have conveyed in a text message that takes two seconds to read.

You have reached (Your Name) at (Your Business). I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to get to the phone. If you leave your name and number, I’ll return your call within one business day.
This is not an answering machine–this is a telepathic thought-recording device. After the tone, think about your name, your reason for calling, and a number where I can reach you, and I’ll think about returning your call.
I put in a 7-15 digit password and click Done, but I get the message “Voicemail Error” try again later everytime. Help.
Once this screen has appeared all of your old voice mails will display. Tap Greeting in the top left.
Standard greeting with your name: "At the tone, please record your message to [name]."
Hello, you have reached the law firm of X. At this moment, I’m busy attending the case of another client, but I will definitely get back to you the moment I am free. Please, leave your details, including your name, address, situation, and your contact number. For something absolutely urgent, call me on y number.
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.
That’s amazing Bonnie! Thanks so much for the tip. I’ll be sure to update the post to reflect the service you found, so all of our other readers can take advantage of it. Happy Holidays!! Laura
Whether you can record your own greeting (also known as “voicemail outgoing message”) depends on your carrier and whether they have their own mechanism in place, or integrate neatly with the iPhone’s native functionality.
