Call your home phone number. Press # to interrupt the greeting, and then enter your PIN. Follow the prompts to listen to your messages. (Note: In some areas, the # key will not interrupt the greeting. Try pressing * or 2 instead.)
To some extent, we all have a “phone voice”. But there are phone voices and then there are PHONE VOICES. We’ve all gotten a voicemail from the stiff, ultra-peppy, overly rehearsed cheerleader; it doesn’t sit well with you, right?
.
A monotone voice can be a turn off for a caller. You want your caller to feel like they missed out on speaking with you — not like they dodged a bullet.
A solid sales voicemail can't be too intrusive or read like a list of demands. At no point should you say something like, "You need to call me back," or sound frustrated by the fact that they haven't gotten in touch with you.
To record a message to someone other than the sender, press 1 4. Record at the tone, then press # to approve the message.

Try to avoid casual salutations like, “Hi” or “Hey” if this is your first time calling someone. Your introduction should be one or two sentences tops. From there you can move on to the body.

Save the highest-rated voicemails. And be honest about which ones you would delete. Those are the ones that need your attention. Separate those elements that need help, and focus on one at a time until perfect voicemails become second nature.
If your voicemails and emails are exactly the same, you lessen your chances of getting a response to either. So make them different by reserving certain questions for voicemail instead of email.
Note: I have several lessons about communicating on the telephone that may be useful to you:
1. Funny Answering Greeting from Seinfeld. Back in 1997, Seinfeld’s character, George Costanza, attempts to avoid a breakup call from his girlfriend and we hear his comical outgoing machine recording.
All time stamps are reported in Eastern Time and are automatically adjusted for daylight saving time.
You can turn off and then turn on Cellular Service from Settings or Control Center.
If you really mean it, say you will return the call as soon as possible. For example, "This is Mary Mitchell. Please leave a message and I will call you back as soon as I can." If you want to give another option to reach you, go ahead, but limit it only to one telephone number or email address.
Your PIN enables you to access your mailbox and calendar information through Outlook Voice Access . When you reset your PIN, a temporary PIN will be delivered to your email Inbox. Use the temporary PIN the next time you call Outlook Voice Access. You'll be prompted to create a permanent PIN at that time.
