iPhoneAlley details a technique to trick the iPhone into using any custom audio file as your voicemail greeting.
The basic rule of thumb is that callers should hear one of two things when they first connect with your voicemail — either an apology for not being able to answer the call or a “thank you” for having called. You can do both if you prefer, but keep it short and to the point.
On Android, you have a couple of different options. If you don’t want to use Google Voice, you may want to check out the free version of any paid apps, as performance can vary from handset to handset.

Some mobile networks automatically set up a default PIN for your voicemail system, which may be something as simple as ‘1234’. That’s really easy to guess, so if someone knows your mobile phone number then they may be able to get into your voicemail just by guessing your PIN.
6. Once in the call, you will need to select option #2 to record your greeting. To access the dialpad press the dialpad button at the bottom of the screen:

When I go to set up voice mail, it asks me to enter a voicemail code, add a 4 digit number and then it asks to confirm that code, I hit done and it tells me that voicemail is currently unavailable, try later.

Thanks for the explanation. It does indeed sound like there’s no convenient solution till your whole system gets revamped. To briefly explain *why* I don’t want your voicemail enabled: I use my USMobile number as a forwarding line for Google Voice. Google Voice’s voicemail is frankly superior to yours so I want to use it exclusively. When your voicemail kicks in it interferes with Google Voice’s operation, causing me frustration and a real mess. I’ll give some thought to whether I want to be bothered with going through a quarterly exercise of calling and re-disabling your voicemail.
This works for any call, live conversation, or endless Zoom call. On a second device—be it another iPhone, an iPad, laptop, or Android phone—open a voice-recorder app and hit record while you're talking. On iOS, the built-in version is called Voice Memos; we have a full tutorial on how to use it. Windows 10 has a built-in Voice Recorder. Android has a bunch of them.
