Add a voicemail greeting

Record new or upload existing personal messages for your callers when you're unavailable to answer their call.

Note: Callers won't be able to leave a voicemail from your account's main or away greetings. You can forward a phone number to an extension to give callers the ability to leave a voicemail.
