Google Voice is a top-notch voicemail app. It lets you send free SMS messages to US phones and make international calls at low rates. You can get transcribed voicemail.

Some of the Quickstart code wasn’t necessary for our IoT Podcast voicemail. The first section of code highlighted in the above image, for example, is used to identify callers for a customized greeting, but only if you know the caller’s number in advance. So I removed that. Additionally, there’s a section of code that reads aloud text for the voicemail greeting. We decided to record our own MP3 file for the greeting, so I modified that line as well. You can tweak the sample code however you’d like if you decide to create a similar project.
In certain situations, it’s a good idea to let a call go to voicemail. If you’re in a loud area, unable to spend 10-15 minutes talking, or are otherwise distracted, don’t answer. Recruiters who cold-call candidates will understand that you’re simply unavailable – but make sure to return calls in a timely manner. If possible, call back during regular business hours.

“Who is this on the telephone? Sorry but no one is at home. Gosh oh gee, but I have fun, taking down messages one by one. I’m an orphan but rich people are going to adopt me; they always do. So if you’re rich, leave a message and the studio will call you back.”
11. Hello, you’ve reached [your name]’s cell phone. I can’t take your call at the moment, but if you leave a brief message, I’ll get back to you as quickly as possible.
8. “Thanks for calling [your name] at [your company]. I didn’t mean to send you to voicemail but I am either on the line with another client or on the go. Leave your name, number, the reason for your call today and the best time to call you back. I’ll speak with you shortly! ” Your caller probably wanted to reach you, not your voicemail. Advise your caller that you’re simply on the line with another caller and you’ll be right with them.
