How do I set up my phone’s voicemail greeting and update the name associated with my extension when I leave a voicemail for others?
1. Tap the fixed key with the envelope graphic, or dial the phone’s phone number.
To reply to sender by voice mail, press 1 1 6 or 1 7. To reply and attach original, press 1 1 9. After recording, press # to approve, then schedule delivery or press # to send now.
Next, choose Notes or Voice Memos when you click the "Share" button to save the voicemail on your iOS. You can also select the Messages, Mail, and AirDrop to send an email or SMS with the recorded voicemail attached to it. If you saved the voicemail to Notes app, open it, and tap on the recorded voicemail to play it.

First I would check the phone to see if it saved the greeting to its files. Some phones do and some don’t. If you are unable to find the voicemail greeting file, google the question for your type of phone. If you’re unable to find it or do it, call youe cell phone carrier to see if they can help. Some carriers still save voicemail greetings on their systems. It’s a great reminder though that if you have a greeting you really want to keep, to make sure you record it and save it to your computer and to a flash drive or cloud drive for good measure. Hope that helps! Laura
