Can voice mail only talk to the guests in english

A common question!

The answer is: it depends on the voice mail system and its settings.

Typically, voice mail systems can be configured to play greetings and prompts in multiple languages. However, the default language is usually set to the language of the country or region where the system is installed.

If you're using a standard voice mail system, it's likely that the default language is English. But, it's possible to change the language setting to accommodate non-English speakers.

Here are a few scenarios:

  1. Standard voice mail system: If you're using a standard voice mail system, you can usually change the language setting by dialing a specific code or using a menu option. For example, you might be able to change the language by dialing "1" for English, "2" for Spanish, or "*3" for French.
  2. Cloud-based voice mail: If you're using a cloud-based voice mail service, such as Google Voice or Skype Voice Mail, you may be able to change the language setting through the service's online settings or mobile app.
  3. Customized voice mail system: If you have a customized voice mail system, such as one installed by your company or organization, the language setting may be fixed or require technical support to change.

To confirm the language setting of your voice mail system, you can try the following:

Remember that even if the voice mail system can play greetings and prompts in multiple languages, the caller may still need to understand English to leave a message or respond to a message.
