How do I record a personal greeting? Mine got whiped out during a power outage, & now all I have is the "Please leave a message" Robot voice.

You didn't say what type & kind of phone you have (iphone or android) or phone service you have (they all do them slightly different). If you dial your own phone number into your cell phone, that should access your voice mail. I have a Sprint Android, so

1. Press 3 for Personal Options
2. Press 2 for Greetings
3. Press 1 to Change Greeting
4. Press 1 to Record personal greeting or press 2 to select the standard greeting
5. Press # to End Recording
6. Press 1 to Confirm Greeting

Change your Sprint personal voicemail greeting

Hey,

Check pages 76 and 77, I think your answer is there.

Let me know if you need anything else.


Thanks,

Please make sure to rate this solution. Thanks.

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

what you do is go to menu and then hit the button that says messaging (the envalope) (sorry if im explaning this so simply i just dont know if you know how to work the phone) the go down to the one that says VOICEMAIL and hit that (well not hit it just you know, poke it or select it :) it should then dial your voicemail. It then should say ....TO CHANGE YOUR PERSONAL OPTIONS PRESS 4 (then open keypad and press 4) then it should say... FOR GREETINGS OR RECORDED NAMES PRESS 3 (onen kepad press 3) then it should have different options such as just one with your 1. name (bob is not available leave a message after the tone) or 2. your number (123-456-7890 is not available please leave a message after the tone) or 3. a personal greeting where you can record whatever you want (hi i am not hear blah blah blah leave a message blah blah blah)
