9. “Hi, you’ve reached [your name]. I’m unable to come to the phone right now. But if you leave your name, number and a short message, I’ll be sure to call back.”
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.

Open your voicemail greeting with a 'Thank you for your call. We're not available right now by please leave your message and we'll get back to you within [specify time]'.
You can set up new voice mailboxes before or after the migration, and after the migration, you can set up mailboxes by dialing “*298” from your desk phone, entering the default PIN “COXCOM” (269266), and following the prompts.

Calls diverted to the voicemail box of a department that doesn’t have active reception staff.
How many times have you gone through the following scenario: While working with a customer or engaged on an important call, you receive a new voicemail. You listen to the message, hoping to understand the caller’s name and issue correctly. And when the caller whizzes through the digits of their callback number faster than you can write, you have to go through the entire message again. Once this exercise has been completed, you call the person back, only to get their voicemail.
A temporary greeting is something you record when you're in need of an interim message—like when you’re on vacation or out for the holidays. Dial *98 on your OnSIP-registered phone. Enter your voicemail box number. Enter the PIN/password for your voicemail box. Press 0 for voicemail box options. Press 3 to record your temporary message.

"I was unhappy with our service provider for the on hold music – which is listened to by citizens calling 311, Access Calgary, or any other City service or facility. I reached out to a counterpart at WestJet and he referred me to On Air. I must say that the customer service I received from the onset at On Air was night and day from what I had previously been accustomed to. They are extremely responsive, and very customer focused. I even had a late request for some holiday music and I had a new playlist in my hands in less than 24 hours. Fantastic! And most of all, Thank you!" - Kelly Brown, Telecom Engineer, Voice and Video Solutions, The City of Calgary, Calgary, AB
