While I know you love the music trivia that changes each day on my voicemail greeting (some colleagues call me every day just to hear it!), you may regularly call other people whose outbound message is not as entertaining.
There are cell phone shortcuts you can use to bypass the greeting and start recording a message now. All you need to know is which carrier is used by the person you are calling.
If you call anyone on AT&T (all iPhones are on AT&T) or T-Mobile, press the “#” button. For Verizon, press the “*” button, and use the “1” when calling anyone on Sprint.
Make a note in your CRM system about which carrier each client uses and you’ll know which shortcut to use.
Also, you may want to include the shortcut in your voicemail greeting so regular callers can bypass your greeting.
