Currently, Cox Business does not offer fax features in voice mailboxes; however, our development roadmap includes creation of special services that support faxing. Cox Business is launching a new platform for voice mail in 2014 and existing customers must set up their voice mailboxes during migration. How will I know when Cox Business is moving my voice mailboxes to the new platform?
With OpenPhone you can record your own voicemail greetings directly in the app, upload your own voice clips or simply type your voicemail script.

The telephone is still the most-used customer service channel in the United States (81%), followed closely by email (78%).
If the mailbox is NOT setup, the fixed system message, "I'm sorry, the person you're trying to reach is unavailable at this time" plays instead of the personal greeting and the mailbox number plays instead of the mailbox name.
If, on the other hand, your clients work with a number of team members, you might consider hiring a voiceover professional to record your greeting. While a recording with a voice actor is an extra expense, the result often outweighs the cost.
Note: a desk phones' voicemail greeting can only be recorded via phone, there is no way to upload or download a greeting through the online panel.
Don’t leave customers and colleagues on edge. If you say you’re going to call them back, follow up. If you tend to fall behind in this area, encourage them to email you or reach out in another way. Better yet, learn how to forward voicemail to email so you can access the message anywhere.
This is where a professional voicemail greeting is essential for giving the right impression and information; encouraging the caller to leave you a message, and informing you of what you may have missed.

Don't use humor – When recording a voicemail message, it is tempting to create an amusing message. However, even if your voicemail is for both personal and professional use, inappropriate humor could cause the caller to form a negative impression of you.
