 3. RECORD OR CHANGE MAILBOX GREETINGS 

Three different greetings are available to you: external, internal, and temporary:
The external greeting will be heard by all outside callers. When giving an external greeting, make sure that you identify yourself by your full name and company so that callers know that they have reached the right person and company.
The internal greeting will be heard by the internal callers. If you want all callers to hear the same message, only record an external greeting.
The temporary greeting is to be used in the cases of extended absences such as vacation, medical leave, business travel, etc. Important: When recording a temporary greeting, make sure that you alert the callers right away to your absence so that they do not use the # sign to skip the greeting. 
A sample greeting is:
     "STOP and listen to this message. This is (full name) with AvantGo. During the week of (week), I will be out of town and NOT listening to messages. During my absence, please call (person's name and number) or leave a message and I will get back to you when I return."
