What is VBC Virtual Voicemail?
VBC Virtual Voicemail is a digital voicemail service that stores messages in the cloud. With a virtual voicemail box, you can access your messages through the VBC Desktop or Mobile App, or through your VoIP desk phone.
How Virtual Voicemail works
With VBC Virtual Voicemail, every extension gets its own secure voicemail box. Messages left in the voicemail box are stored in the cloud, making them accessible anytime, anywhere through the VBC platform.
VBC Virtual Voicemail can send business voicemails to email, play different messages when you’re out of the office, or be turned on and off as needed. You can also give callers the option of skipping voicemail and connecting with another extension or phone number.
Virtual Voicemail greetings
With Vonage’s online voicemail service, you can create personalized business voicemail greetings. VBC Virtual Voicemail comes with four types of greeting options:
Name Greeting
Available when Vonage Voicemail is configured with a dial-by-name directory through the Virtual Receptionist. Callers dial the first few letters of a first or last name, and the greeting plays to assure they've dialed correctly.
Unavailable Greeting
Callers receive this greeting if you’re unable to answer the phone or are on another call.
Busy Greeting
If your phone is set to “Do Not Disturb,” or if you receive a call when all other lines are in use, this greeting will play for your callers.
Vacation/Out of office greeting
Once selected in the User Portal, this greeting replaces the unavailable and busy greetings.
VBC Virtual Voicemail brings flexibility, security, and control to the table for your business and your employees.
