-Hello. All of our operators are busy right now, but if you’ll leave your name, telephone number, a brief message, and the time you called, we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you and have a pleasant day.
Don' let background noise do the talking for you. Ambient noise on your recording could be sending the wrong message to your clients. The sound of your kids arguing in the distance could be the sign of a distracting work environment. Clinking glasses and restaurant chatter may leave the impression that you don't take your work seriously. When you record your voicemail greeting choose a quiet spot free from interruption, so your message is the only thing callers hear. It's also good to avoid large, cavernous spaces where sound verberates.

Verizon only: Unfortunately, if you have set up the voicemail successfully but still unable to change the greetings of Voicemail from the Voicemail tab, then dial *86 and select option 4 to make a change. Step #1: Launch the “Phone” app on your iPhone. Step #2: Tap “Voicemail”. Step #3: Select “Greeting” on the upper-left corner of the screen. Step #4: In case, you are also using eSIM then select the second network to change voicemail greetings. Step #5: Select “Custom”. From here you can record a greeting. Step #6: Tap “Record”.
