A mobile answering machine refers to a recording, either human or synthesized, that prompts a caller to leave a message for the person or place unable to answer. To compare, a landline answering machine acts to record sound. A cellular or mobile equivalent turns this sound into numerical data, which is then stored in a database potentially far away.

Any business answering machine greeting you use should also be customized and personal for your needs. If you have an emergency service, that a caller can activate through the press of a button for faster response, then you should indicate this in the message. It can also be helpful to remind callers of the information they need to provide in their message, such as their name, contact information, and reason for calling. You should also thank the caller for his or her call at the end of your message and indicate that you plan on returning the call as soon as possible. You might also Like Reminiscence February 8, 2014
