At times voicemails contain clever and witty messages. You can be mislead if you do not understand them. In such cases use your common sense and then record your message. Make sure you set such types of voicemail greetings only for unofficial use of your phone and not for professional purposes. Don’t be a creep because I’m not talking to you. Tell who are you on hearing the beep. I’m a spirit! I will haunt you if you tell me your name and number. You have entered the gateway of heaven. Here I’m God! Be blessed after leaving your contact number. I wasn’t at office yesterday, nor today nor will I be there tomorrow. Vanish. Leave behind a trail of you after the beep. Funny Voicemail Greetings

Before you record a professional voicemail greeting, you may want to consider the type of people who might call your home or business. That way, you can think about the information these callers might need before you compose your greeting. Most callers are familiar with how to leave a voice message, so try to avoid giving them instructions. Some things you may want to include in your greeting might be your full name, title, name of your company, and an alternate method of reaching you. If you plan to be unavailable for some time, it can be a good idea to tell your callers when you will return and give them the name and phone number of another individual to call in the event they need immediate assistance. A private voicemail box enables a person to receive telephone messages when the phone cannot be answered.
