Note: Maximum storage for voicemail is 50 Mb regardless of storage time. You can change how long messages will be kept on the server before auto-deletion by navigating to Unite > Settings > Voicemail settings. Verify the correct time zone is set (Services > Unite > Auto Attendant > Edit Auto Attendant > Settings > General > Time Zone) because it will affect the Business/After Hours. Make sure the extension and phone numbers are assigned as intended. Make sure the email for Voice Mail is the one you want Voice Mail messages to be delivered to (Services > Unite > Auto Attendant > Edit Auto Attendant > Settings > Voicemail settings). Make sure your greeting explains each option that you have set up and which key caller needs to press for it.
If you only check and return messages once a day or once a week, let your caller know. This will avoid multiple messages by the same caller.

When you frequently update your business greeting, there is a chance more people will listen to the message. You can update your voicemail with relevant information about your business as a way to keep your customers well informed.
