Setting Voicemail for DID Numbers
Configure a voicemail message to play to customers when their call goes to voicemail due to incorrect DID forwarding or unreachable destination.
The DID Voicemail feature allows you to handle cases with failed incoming calls to your DID numbers. You can play messages for your customers when DID forwarding is incorrectly defined, or the configured destination is unreachable. In such cases, the call will go to the voicemail if the dialed DID number has a playback defined.
You have the option to either upload an audio file or enter a text, select a language and voice, and generate a greeting yourself.
The system will automatically play these messages to the customers and record voicemails. Subsequently, it will dispatch the recordings to the email addresses indicated in your Voicemail Playbacks settings.
All recordings are accessible within the Voicemail Report tab.
