No option to leave voicemail just tells me person is unavailable

Hi
If the person you are calling has an ansaphone or voicemail set up, then if they cannot take the call you will automatically be put through to their system and a message will tell you when to start leaving your voicemail.
Regarding your own phone, you don't specifically say so but it is in the Cell Phone category, so for a cell voicemail is usually a function of your Service Provider. Nearly all of them provide voice mail but if you don't want it you need to get in touch wth them and tell them to turn it off.
Hope this is helpful, if so would you please register that with Fixya
Cheers

try transferring the calls from ur mobile to the voicemail when u r not available....
in call settings u might have an option of forwarding the incoming call after so many particular number of rings... forward the calls to ur voicemail numbers using this and then u ll have the numbers in ur recieved calls list.
this might work but is only a temporary solution

I bought and Uniden Dect 6.0 phone and the other day I had a voicemail msg but I can't retreive it how can I do that the book doesn't show how to set up for voicemail

Step 1 Lift the handset for your telephone and listen for the dial tone. Dial the access code you were given by Verizon when you signed up for residential telephone service. Dialing the access code will call the voicemail system. If you do not have an access code, you will need to call Verizon Customer Service (see link in Resources).

Step 2 Identify the telephone number you are setting up voicemail services for. If you are calling from that telephone number, enter the temporary passcode and then press "#." The temporary passcode is the last 4 digits of your residential telephone number. If you are calling from a different phone, press "*" when the system greeting starts to play, then enter the 10-digit telephone number when prompted. After this, you will be asked to input the temporary passcode.

Step 3 Choose a new passcode. The passcode must be from 4 to 8 digits in length. It should be easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess. Do not use easy to guess numbers, such as 1234 or 1111. Also do not re-enter the same temporary passcode, since it will be easy for anyone to guess.

Step 4 Record your name. Simply say your name, without a long complicated message. This recording is used by the voicemail system to identify you whenever you forward a message to another user. It is not used as the standard greeting when a caller is directed to your voicemail to leave a message.

Step 5 Record or change your personal greeting. This greeting is played any time someone reaches your voicemail box. Record a friendly greeting to announce that you are unavailable and will return all calls upon your return.
Decide if you want to set up a different mailbox for each family member. Verizon residential telephone service allows you to set up multiple mailboxes so that everyone can have his own private message center. Callers who reach voicemail will be prompted to press "1" to leave a message for one person, press "2" for the next person, and so on.

Step 6 Hang up the telephone. When you have finished setting up the voicemail system on your Verizon residential phone line, hang up the phone to end the call and exit the voicemail system.

this way will take awhile, but this is the only way i know how to record a personal greetong so far:

• on page 10 of the manual, it tells you to press and hold the 1/E key.

• This will automatically connect you to your voice mail.

• after listening to your messages or no messages, the robot lady says, "main menu."

• after hearing this, pay close attention because she asks if you would like to be taken to "personal options" (press 4)

• she will then ask if you would like to be taken to "greetings or recorded name" (press 3)

• she will then ask if you want "to change [your] personal greeting" (press 1)

• then she asks 3 options of what you can do (ie her telling people your number, then telling them to leave messages; you saying your name, then her telling people to leave messages; or what you asked about: recording your own greeting).

• To record your "personal greeting," press 3

• then she gives you directions for this, etc.

hope this helps and that it is the same for your phone... i have a propel A767... it took me a long time to figure this out, so you are not alone :D

call 611 from the phone you can press I think option 1 then option 3 you should be able to reset your voicemail pwd. however before you do that you should call your phone from another phone not just press 1 send. by calling your phone it will let you know if you have a voicemail box actually setup porperly.

That is for voicemail to email.
Copy, send a wav file as an attachment to email as well as leaving a copy in the phone

Forward, only send voicemail to email address.

Alert, only sends an email to say that you have voicemail, still need to access phone to get vociemail

This isn't in the phone. It's in your voicemail preferences. Listen to all options in your voicemail settings. Just keep listening for an option number for settings after it tells you that you do or dont have messages. If you dont find something fairly obvious call *611 and tech support should be able to talk you through it. Call from a phone other than the razr.

You need to erase your voicemail number you put and set it to off again.
