43. Howdy, right here’s [X company]. We’re no longer ready to expend your name for the time being, but please toddle away a short message so we can receive aid to you rapidly.
Let the song in your heart play on your voicemail greeting. Lady Gaga's "Telephone" works perfectly "Sorry I'm not home right now. I'm walking into spiderwebs. Leave a message and I'll call you back." Say it up front with "Spiderwebs" by No Doubt. Stevie Wonder practically intended this to be used as a voicemail message.

Advanced greetings provide additional functionality for power users, but require additional setup. Contact the UBIT Help Center if you are interested in any of these options and require assistance:

Be honest...you've been fooled by this one before, haven't you? It goes like this: riiiing, riiing, riiiing "Hey." "Hi, it's Juli what's up?" "Oh.
