As a bonus, here is an example of our own holiday voicemail greeting here at OpenPhone:

.
A secretary in a doctor’s office creates a voicemail greeting that says, “If you have a scheduled meeting with us, we could use copies of all your medical documents from last year, so come prepared.” Using the word “could” gives patients the impression that they don’t necessarily “need” last year’s documents. See the difference between “could” and “need”? Your word choice can impact a future meeting significantly. If you want a customer to perform a specific action, you need to pay close attention to how you express your calls-to-action.
Regardless, you have to remind your callers that it’s the holidays, that things are busy, and that in order for you to run your business more smoothly and get to as many customers as possible, you need your customers to leave a detailed message, and you need your voicemail greeting to express that it’s the holiday season and things will be slower. Remaining transparent by acknowledging it’s the busiest time of the year allows customers to anticipate a wait. This helps improve the customer experience and make them feel more welcome.
The Carrier must provide a visual voicemail server implementing the OMTP VVM specifications. The current implementation of the AOSP VVM client supports the core features (read/delete voicemails, download/sync/listen) but the additional TUI features (password change, voicemail greeting, languages) are not implemented. At this time, we only support OMTP version 1.1 and do not use encryption for IMAP authentication.
What kind of business phone service does your company use? If they haven’t been updated recently, or you haven’t made the switch to a higher-end VoIP phone that typically offers better sound quality, it’s time for an upgrade. The equipment you use can make all the difference. At the end of the day, people are judging your business based on little things like that.
08You’ve reached the voicemail of [your business/company]. We are under new management and will be hosting a re-opening on [dates] where you can come and meet the team and have a chance to learn more about our enhanced services and new products. To leave a voicemail message, press the # key and someone from our team will call you back within 24 hours. This voicemail greeting is used to communicate information regarding changes to any business activities. It specifies how customers can communicate and do business with you, during any transition time.
The next key element is giving a short reason or apology for being unable to take the call. Make sure to say something quick and concise like: “We are sorry to miss your call, but we are assisting others or away from our desk.”
While missed calls aren’t ideal, you can let your caller know you’re still there for them by having a great voicemail greeting. The best business voicemail greetings let your customers (and potential customers) know why you’re not available and how they can best get in contact with your business. They are also short and to the point. You usually want to keep your greeting between 6 and 24 seconds long so callers don’t hang up halfway through.

Thanks David and great question. Yes, any time you have to start or re-start ngrok, a new URL is generated. It’s not a major issue, but once you have that URL, you do have to go back into the Twilio Console and update the web hook URL. Takes a few seconds and is easy to do.

The phone you use to record your greeting – and your surrounding – can turn your carefully scripted greeting into an unprofessional mess. Background noise is terribly distracting, so choose a quiet room or parked car to make your call. Landlines, or a “wi-fi enabled” cellphone call, can provide much better connection quality than a standard cellphone. If you must use a cell phone, be sure to use a high-quality headset for the best clarity.
