Types of voicemail greetings
Standard - This greeting plays all of the times unless another greeting overrides it. By design, the standard greeting cannot be turned off, but can be overridden by other greetings
Alternate - Allows callers to leave messages, but gives them a separate greeting, which you can schedule to occur for a set period of time. Turn on this greeting for a specific time period when you want to provide information about special circumstances, such as when you are on vacation. (For example, "I will be out of the office until <date>.") When it is on, the alternate greeting overrides standard greeting.
