As mentioned earlier, before you try to set up visual voicemail, make sure you have it activated on your phone and that your carrier allows it. If your phone isn’t capable of using visual voicemail, then simply move on to the next method.

Choose a greeting—Default or Custom; if you choose Custom, you can record a new greeting.
Businesses should have two main types of greetings to create an excellent call experience. The first one is what we call a “welcome greeting” – this greeting welcomes callers to your business. Typically, a welcome greeting will present a menu of call options like hours, location, or customer service.

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.
Enabling Airplane mode will disable cellular, WiFi connections and Bluetooth on your device. Make sure that the Airplane icon is no longer encased in a little orange circle. This means it is enabled and all your connections are disabled.
If that doesn’t work, you may need to either live with the voicemail notification just sitting there, or you may need to try a full reset of your iPhone. It is a step of last resort but can fix most problems with iOS so maybe worth a try. Just remember to back up your phone if you decide to give it a try.

Before you push record, be sure to tell the person on the other end of the line you're recording; depending on your location, you may be breaking a law if you don't. Some US states—like New York and even the feds—only require one-party consent, which means you can record without telling the other person or persons. In California, all parties must know they're being recorded—even if the recorder is out of state. Under federal law, one-party consent is okay, but only if you're part of the conversation; otherwise that's considered eavesdropping.
