Luckily, it's easy to save a voicemail from your iPhone, Android or old non-smart phone. Let’s start with iPhones.
The phone company Vonage reported a drop in voice mail retrievals over the past year. Many of those ignoring voice mails are millennials.

Let’s say you wanted to call someone and make an inquiry and that person doesn’t pick up their phone. To pick up the phone is to answer the phone. It’s a phrasal verb.
If there are specific messages, be concise, and let the person know at the beginning so she can be listening for the information. For example, "I'm calling to let you know two things.
Tap Change Voicemail Password. Enter the new password (4-6 digits) then tap Done. If requested, enter the current password. Re-enter the new password, then tap Done. If that doesn’t work, contact your phone carrier to change your passcode or PIN. Or if your phone carrier has an account app (like Verizon’s My Verizon App), you can update
Open Settings → General → About → If there is an update, you will see a pop-up. → Tap Update.
As you practice and score your sales voicemails, you’ll start to determine some best practices. Here are a few of mine:
20. “Hey there! Thanks for calling [company]. We are unable to answer the phone right now but will get back to you right after the holidays. We hope it’s not an emergency, but if so, we’ve got you covered. Contact us at [company email/other support lines] and we’ll get back to you ASAP. Please be sure to leave your name, phone number, and a brief message to let us know the reason for your call. Thank you and have a great day.” Available even during holiday emergencies? Let your callers know via your voicemail greeting.
It also ensures that, in the age of voicemail transcripts, your number stands out at the end of your message. And because most phones link to numbers automatically, all your prospect has to do is press the number provided at the end of the transcript to easily call you back.
4. The software will then display what data is recoverable. Look for the voicemails you wish to recover, then follow the instructions to get them back onto your phone.
Hello, this is Laura Brown. I’m sorry I can’t take your call right now but please leave me a brief message after the tone and I’ll be sure to return your call as soon as I can. Thank you and have a great day.
Hey guess who this is? You guessed it. Guess what you have to do now? You guessed it.
A good first impression goes a long way, and a voicemail greeting is the first impression to your business. An expertly crafted voicemail script lets your clients know you’re dependable, capable, and confident. An unprofessional voicemail script, on the other hand, can do the exact opposite.

It’s better to say “I apologize” instead of “I’m sorry,” as the former is more effective in conveying your regrets without needing long explanations.
Take a pen and paper and write down exactly what you will say. Then call them back. This way you will make sure you say what needs to be said, you will not forget to say your name at the end and also share your phone number.
