All together, I will have 3 voicemail services for the various service platforms that I will need to rely one. Each service will have a voicemail box, and voicemail service. This will include the Cell, SIP, and VOIP. While in a perfect world, I will have one voicemail service, this is not likely to ever happen.
As for the voicemail itself, all voicemail announcements will be the same, and will use my current announcement. The announcement is “You’ve reached Frank Pilone, leave a message“. This is intended to be simple and direct to the point. By assuring that I will have a simple voicemail, it gives a clear instruction on what to do when you reach my voicemail. You also know who you’ve called which might be important especially since the person might have called the wrong number.
