Changing Your Name Announcement and Personal Greeting Change your personal greeting often, to let callers know, for instance, that you are on vacation, available at another number, or unavailable for a specified amount of time. You may also want to change the greeting to say that your extension is a "greeting-only mailbox," so that callers do not attempt to leave messages. See "Greeting-Only Mailbox" later in this chapter.
