Recording and Enabling a Greeting

You can record your standard, busy and alternate greetings by phone. Greetings can be enabled or disabled.

• Enabled—the greeting is available for the appropriate situation. When a greeting is enabled but not recorded, voice mail plays a pre-recorded greeting.
• Disabled—the greeting is unavailable for voice mail to play, but the recording is not erased.

You can enable or disable only your alternate greeting by phone. Note that the alternate greeting overrides the standard greeting when enabled.
