Question 1

How do I record this greeting on my phone?

Accepted Answer

On most carriers, dial your own number from your phone, enter your voicemail PIN, and follow the prompts to record a new greeting. On office phones and VoIP systems (RingCentral, Dialpad, 8x8, Vonage), open the admin or voicemail settings and look for "Greeting" or "Custom Greeting." Read the script slowly and clearly in a quiet room.

Question 2

Can I use this for cell phones?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The same script works for cell phones, business landlines, and VoIP systems. For cell phones, dial your own number or open the Phone app, go to Voicemail, and choose Greeting to record.

Question 3

What makes a good business voicemail?

Accepted Answer

Three things: state your business name in the first sentence so callers know they reached the right place, tell them exactly what information to leave (name, number, reason), and set a clear callback expectation. Aim for 20 to 30 seconds.
