HELP FILE
The main greeting is the first thing a caller hears when they call your Grasshopper number. It's generally used on accounts with multiple extensions for callers to choose from (as opposed to a single call-forwarding number). Learn more about other greeting types here, including the main away greeting.
TIP: If you record a custom main greeting, be sure to list out the extensions available to callers!
