Don’t include the date unless it’s completely necessary. 16 of the messages I heard last month had the wrong date—one of the messages had a date over 2 months old!
You can use this example to create any combination of greeting keeping in mind there are only 3 flexible schedules. In Tbox 998 record you lunch time greeting as the day message and record the night message as their standard night greeting. The way this works is a call comes in the opening line ID is 999 If the time the caller called falls between the hours shown in schedule 1 the caller hears the day greeting of Box 999, if they are calling at any time other than what is in schedule 1 the caller will hear 1 second of silence then go to Box 998 In Box 998 if the caller is calling in between the hours shown in schedule 2 they will hear the day greeting which in this example would be the Lunch time message. A caller calling in at any time other than what is in schedule 2 will hear the after-hours message. You can modify this to play different message on different days keeping in mind you only have 3 real schedules to play with.

Sorry I wasn’t able to take your call, but please leave your name and a detailed message and I’ll get back to you.
Whether you’re out for the day or are off for the week, the first rule of an out of office voicemail greeting is: let callers know when you’ll be back! You’ll save them the frustration of continuing to call and yourself the hassle of listening to redundant voicemails. It’s also a good idea to set the expectation of whether you are answering messages while you’re away, and who they can reach for assistance in your absence.
