With all of these things to think about for a short 20-second voicemail, you might be feeling a little bit overwhelmed. We promise it’s actually is much simpler than it sounds.

In this world where leads are so fragile that they can go to your competitor if you don’t immediately answer their calls, managers must work hard to ensure that no qualified lead ends up in the hands of competitors. One way to curb volatile leads is by laying out a voicemail system. There is a boatload of free business voicemail tools that startups and mid-sized firms can configure to suit their specific demands.
Part of the power of a hosted phone system is that you can route calls based on the time of day.

Set up Visual Voicemail. If your carrier supports Visual Voicemail, you can set it up with these steps: Go to the Phone app, then tap the Voicemail tab. Tap Set Up Now. Create a voicemail password, then tap Done. Enter your password again to confirm it, then tap Done. Select Custom or Default. If you choose Custom, you can record a new greeting.

These phones are designed specifically for users who expect integrated communication to come with excellent functionality, great value, and ultra-smart design. And its Acoustic Shield feature eliminates background noise in open offices.
After the tone, leave your name, number, and tell where you left the money. I’ll get back to you as soon as it’s safe for you to come out of hiding.
Lines and extensions: With an analog phone system you might, for example, pay your telco for two or four lines to allow your business to have that many simultaneous phone calls. For that to work, you'd need a two- or four-line analog business phone system, which are some of the most common analog systems on the market.
