This article is about the second main type of greeting – the voicemail greeting. All businesses should have professional voicemail greetings at the company level (i.e. your general business number), department level (e.g. customer service), and employee level, where applicable. It’s important that each of these voicemail greetings align with the brand and personality of your company to ensure that every caller has a consistent experience. Let’s dive in!
Twilio is a low-cost cloud service that provides APIs that add communication services to applications. We bought our phone number, which costs $1.00 per month, even if we don’t use for any calls or messages. Twilio charges $0.085 a minute for incoming calls and $0.013 a minute for outgoing calls. Sending or receiving a text message from our Twilio number costs $0.0075, while recording a voicemail is only $0.0025. Even if we receive 100 messages a month, the cost of those, plus the phone number, is only two or three dollars. To increase the security of this task, it might be a good idea to consider a proxy server from companies similar to fineproxy. The last thing you’d want is to get hacked! But I digress.

Explain Your Return Call Policy: In your after hours message for the medical office, be sure to state your return call policy for voicemail response. By giving callers an estimate of when they can expect a return call from someone in your office, you can eliminate multiple phone calls from the caller, as well as reduce work for your staff members.
CAN I USE SLYDIAL TO CONNECT TO THE VOICEMAIL OF A LANDLINE PHONE NUMBER? No. Slydial only works to connect to the voicemail of a U.S. mobile phone user. Slydial works with all major U.S. wireless providers. No, there are some numbers that simply cannot be 'slydialed'. For example, you cannot slydial someone who has a prepaid mobile phone, does not have a voice-mailbox on his/her phone, a full voice-mailbox, or a third-party voicemail service (e.g. Google Voice, Youmail). Additionally, Google Voice numbers or other VoIP numbers cannot be slydialed. On some occasions, we temporarily may not be able to complete your call due to things like network congestion, network interoperability or local number portability (LNP). Slydial never blocks your caller ID, so your telephone number will always appear on the other person's phone. The number you enter into the slydial app must be the same as your native cell phone number. If you enter a different phone number into the app, this will not change your Caller ID. The app will not work if an incorrect phone number has been entered in to your app. If you have Caller ID blocked on your phone, try dialing *82 before you dial 267-SLYDIAL to unblock Caller ID for a single call.

A carrier visual voicemail app, if installed on the device, can disable the AOSP VVM client. This is achieved by checking if a package with a name matching the KEY_CARRIER_VVM_PACKAGE_NAME_STRING parameter is installed.
In previous blogs, I’ve mentioned the importance of making a good first impression on a potential client. Most of the time, the first contact will be over the telephone. Since we are often in session, it is very likely that the first time a client hears our voice is on our voicemail greeting. This is why a professional greeting is so important. Identify yourself because you need to reassure the client that they have called the correct number. Clients will be a lot less likely to leave a message if they wonder who will get it. Use a warm friendly voice to say something like, “You have reached xxxx, licensed mental health counselor.” Tell clients what to do if they are in crisis. Although it seems obvious to us, clients may not realize that it could be several hours until we can return their call. I suggest something like, “If you require immediate assistance, please dial 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.” Ask for what information you need. Yes, the obvious name and number, but if it would be helpful to get their insurance information, ask for that, too. Give clients an idea about when you’ll return their call. Common business practice is within 24 business hours. Any extra messages or information you’d like clients to know. For example, if you are no longer accepting a particular insurance plan, the end of your voicemail greeting is a great place to convey that information.
Avoid background noise. Whether you have music playing in your office, or you’re sitting in a coffee shop, background noise can make it difficult for your customers to understand your greeting. Limit the noise around you when you leave your voicemail greeting.
Customers will eventually need help from your business. If your customer service team is unavailable for calls, you can use the customer service voicemail recordings below.
“Excuse me, I don’t mean to bother you here. But I just have one more question, just one more question; I gotta ask it, I mean… My wife is a big fan of yours, ya know. I’d really appreciate it if you could just leave me your name and number here. Thanks, thank you very much. No really, I appreciate that, I mean, you’re a marvelous person. Thank you."

"Hi. You've reached my voicemail. Please leave your name, number, and a damn good reason why this conversation couldn't be done over text."

Informal voicemail greetings are those that don’t adhere to the rules of professional and business voicemail greetings. Here, you are free to just leave a simple greeting, or use it to show your more witty side. This style of greetings can be used for both home and business if you like, depending on the type of caller you expect. For instance, a novelty shop could probably create a rather informal message, using sound effects that represent the type of items they sell.
