The online audio recorder then clicks the "Record" button on the audio recorder while the voicemail is playing. If you are recording using an external mic, make sure that your phone is on the loudspeaker and pointed at the mic.
By default, the telephone number is the one assigned to you by your organization, but it could also be a cell phone number or email address. In that case, voice mail would be played back through your email Inbox.

Traditional voicemail services once offered this feature, but visual voicemail (with a visual interface that lets you access messages directly) has mostly eliminated that possibility. If your phone does not have visual voicemail, and you have to call an inbox to hear your messages, you may still be able to use this feature.

Out of town? Your callers should know. Let them know with the following vacation voicemail greetings.
So with that being said, a simple message such as this may be just what you’re looking for:
Rehearse your greeting a few times before you press record. Plan your pauses and select natural places to take a breath. If you are recording directly into your phone don't hold it to your ear like you are talking on the phone. This can produce a muffled tone. Hold the phone out in front of you a few inches from your mouth for the clearest recording. This may require some trial and error. So playback your greeting and make necessary adjustments on your re-record.
Do you have a landline at work? Make sure that all your phones, personal and business, have good clear, professional English voicemail greetings.
