When someone is trying to reach you and they can’t get you on the line, they want to leave a message right away and get on with their day. If your voicemail greeting goes on for minutes on end, chances are they aren’t going to stick around until they hear the beep.

Android phones can access voicemail by holding down the 1 key on the dial pad until the phone dials your 10-digit phone number. You will automatically connect to your mailbox and be prompted to enter your temporary password; this password is the last 4 digits of your phone number followed by the # key.
The above greeting is a professional voicemail script used by many growing and established businesses. It delivers the message quickly and efficiently, without wasting the caller’s time.

Hey, who’s this? I’d actually pick up, but my phone is staring at me. OMG! I just saw it wink!
As a bonus, here is an example of our own holiday voicemail greeting here at OpenPhone:
Before any business can create clear, easy to hear (and understand) recorded audio messages, they need the right recording equipment. Many businesses try to get by with using audio recorded on a standard recording device.
8. Select a standard greeting, or create a custom one. You will usually be given the choice to either select a standard greeting or record a custom one.
“Hey Henry, I’m reaching out because I recently helped someone in a similar position to you save X amount of dollars…”
Hello, you have reached the law offices of X. Unfortunately, I am attending to another client right now, but I will return your call as soon as I can. Please leave me your name, reason for calling, and your number so I can connect you with the right department. This is far more professional than the other examples given in this guide. Lawyers should always be formal, smooth, and confident. Nobody is calling to make friends. They’re calling to get the job done. That’s why your message should be all business.
1. Hello, you’ve reached [your name]. I’m currently unavailable, but leave your name and number and I’ll return your call as soon as I can.
A badly-done greeting, on the other hand, can confuse and infuriate customers over the phone. Creating a professional-sounding voice recording for your phone system can be a more difficult process than one initially might assume. To create a professional business voicemail greeting, businesses need to do several things:
I am not a voice talent, and I hate the sound of my own voice. Every time I lose my cell phone (daily), I call it from another line to help myself find it. And every time I do this, I wish my voicemail message sounded…different. I’m always reminded that I should sit down and rerecord it, so it makes a more professional first impression.
4. Limit background noise. You want your voice to come through crisp and clear, so make sure that there’s no noise in the background like a radio, tv, or people talking. The best place to record your voicemail is in a quiet room that’s away from excessive noise. Smaller rooms will also work better as there won’t be as much ambient sound as in a large, open space.
