How to Configure Voicemail on a Phone Number
Follow along in this tutorial for steps on how to configure voicemail on a phone number:
Step 1: Enable (or Disable) Voicemail
Make sure voicemail is turned on for your number by following these instructions. You can enable or disable voicemail at any time. Here’s how:
- Select Numbers
- Select on your number
- Select Voicemail & Text
- Select the drop down menu for Ring my phone, then send calls to VM after
- Select an option (see below)
Voicemail Setting Options
- Never – VM off – Voicemail is off and calls will go to the voicemail of the outside phone number.
- Immediately – This will send callers immediately to the NumberBarn voicemail.
- Seconds – Select a set amount of seconds to ring to your forwarding number. After that time period, if there is no answer, we will forward that call to NumberBarn voicemail.
Please Note: You may have to test the number of seconds to ring based on your existing voicemail service. For example: If you are forwarding to your cell phone, 30 seconds may be too long and your cell phone’s voicemail will capture the call before we can send it to your NumberBarn voicemail.
Step 2: Record Your Voicemail Greeting
Warm up your vocal chords and get recording. Here’s how:
- Select Voicemail & Text
- Locate the audio player labeled My Voicemail Message
- Select Change
Options available:
- Upload an mp3 or wav file
- Record an outgoing message over your phone
Step 3: Voicemail Notifications
We’ll notify you of a voicemail via email from voicemail@numberbarn.com. To receive voicemail notifications to your email address, login to your NumberBarn account. Then:
- Select Numbers from the navigation bar
- Select your number from the list
- Select the Voicemail & Text tab
