If voice mail options are grayed out, you're using the Skype for Business voice mail service with cloud PSTN. Voice mail options aren't available in Outlook.
As the odds of receiving a call back from your voicemail message are already low, you need to be very specific about what you say in your voicemail to give you the greatest chance of getting a call back. What you absolutely do NOT want to do is make yourself sound like a salesperson making a cold call. Instead, you want to sound like a very confident business colleague who deserves the respect of getting a call back.
Note: If Greeting that lets callers know you'll be away for an extended period of time is selected, the call answering rules previously recorded are ignored and only the greeting recorded for this option is played.
To change the number of times your phone rings before voicemail answers, please contact us and a representative will set your ring cycle.

For some reason we haven’t been able to connect since I sent you (your demo, proposal, etc.), and believe me, I’ve been sales long enough to know what that probably means. I’m assuming you’ve either found another solution or this has been put on the back burner for now. Either way, that’s fine.
Funny, the majority of us have a phone on us more hours of the day than not, but actually we’re harder to talk to than ever. On personal calls, and especially business calls, you’re much more likely to reach voicemail than the actual person you’re hoping to engage in conversation.
Hello, (your name) summer home. Some are home, some aren’t. Leave your message at the tone.
First-time sales outreach response is plummeting. According to Jill Konrath, 97% of all business calls now go to voicemail.
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.
Access your voicemail Dial *98 from your home phone. If you are away from home, dial your access number and follow the prompts, or dial your phone number, then press the * key when you hear the greeting.
Imagine listening to a voicemail from a salesperson who is just so excited about the message that their tone is now unnaturally high-pitched and energetic. Today, people aren’t fooled by that, and in trying to make the message more meaningful, this approach actually makes it less meaningful.
