Setting up a professional voicemail message on OpenPhone is a straightforward process designed to ensure your callers always receive a clear message when you're unavailable. You can easily customize your greeting directly within your account settings.
Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Your OpenPhone Voicemail
Here's how to configure your voicemail message for any of your OpenPhone numbers:
1. Access Your Phone Numbers
Begin by navigating to the "My Phone Numbers" section within your OpenPhone account. This area lists all the phone numbers associated with your profile.
2. Select the Desired Number
Once you're in the "My Phone Numbers" section, click on the specific phone number for which you wish to set or update the voicemail greeting. This action will open the detailed settings for that particular number.
3. Locate Unanswered Calls Settings
Inside the selected phone number's settings, scroll down until you find the "Unanswered calls" section. This is where you control what happens when a call to this number goes unanswered. To proceed with setting up your voicemail, hit the "Change" option within this section.
4. Create Your Voicemail Greeting
After clicking "Change," you will be presented with options to create your voicemail greeting. OpenPhone offers flexibility in how you deliver your message:
Option | Description |
---|---|
Record | Use your device's microphone to record a custom greeting directly within the OpenPhone app. |
Upload | Upload an existing audio file (e.g., an MP3) that you've pre-recorded. This is great for polished messages. |
Type | Type out your desired voicemail message. OpenPhone will then use text-to-speech technology to read it out for callers. |
Choose the method that best suits your needs and follow the prompts to finalize your voicemail message. Once saved, this greeting will play automatically for callers whenever a call to that number goes unanswered.
