🎙️ Tips for a Great Voicemail Greeting

  • Record in a quiet room
  • Speak clearly and slowly
  • Tell callers who you are and what to do next
  • Keep it short and friendly
Alert
If you want to check another voicemail box, that is not your own press the # key when prompted for the personal identification number. You will then be promoted for the mailbox number and then PIN of the other mailbox.


Testing your Voicemail Message

  1. The simplest way to test your message is to call the extension with the voicemail you have just updated.
  2. Don't answer the call, let it ring through to be answered by voicemail.
  3. Leave a message and wait for it to be emailed through.
  4. If you don't like the message, then re-record it.
