Voicemail settings
Voicemail settings allow you to customize how your voicemail system works and how you receive and manage your voicemails. Here are some common voicemail settings:
- Voicemail Greeting: This is the message that plays when someone leaves a voicemail for you. You can record a custom greeting or use a default one.
