Can you set up multiple greetings using custom voicemail greeting on a iPhone 4s? ma

Why couldn't the Iphone simply store a few geetings to choose from? I use my phone for business and have spent a lot of time perfecting my message. However, their are times I'm not available and would like to be able to quickly switch from my normal greeting to "I'm going to be out of the office today. If you need immediate help, please call 000-000-0000"

Seems like the iphone should be able to simply store a few selectable custom greetings that we could toogle between.

Voicemail is a carrier feature & your greeting is stored on their servers. I'm not aware of any carrier, anywhere, that permits multiple greetings.

If you have a Google Voice account, you can use that as your voice mail instead of what's provided by your carrier. It allows you to have customer greetings based on caller ID or Gmail contact groups.

I don't know. However, if you're in the U.S., Google Voice will do this, as I mentioned above. It's free.

Submit your feedback to Apple:

Voicemail may be a carrier feature, but iphone does not dial out to voicemail like other phones do. It plays the message direct from within the phone, so multiple messages should be an easy thing to do. I can rerecord a new greeting within a couple seconds on the iphone, so why couldn't I just select from a list of one's that are already pre-recorded?

You can't do that because that's not the way the program is designed. Submit your feedback to Apple requesting such a feature using the feedback link I provided above.

Actually, the voicemail greeting is stored on the carrier's server, not the iPhone itself.

I HAVE THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION!! I CHANGE MY VOICEMAIL A LOT AND I DONT HAVE TO EVER RECORD TWICE!!

This works with custom voicemail greetings made by professionals too. This method will teach you how to add them WITHOUT a Jailbreak!!

Use an auxillary cable, headphone jack on both ends. (It has to have 3 lines at the end of each 1/8 jack or it will not work) you can get it from radio shack!

Plug 1 end into your iPhone headphone jack

Plug the other end into your mic jack your "other device," laptop, desktop, digital recorder, etc.

Open your custom greeting on your "other device" like ITunes, media player etc.

Play your custom voicemail greeting on your "other device" and press record on your iPhone while on the greetings screen! Then, tap SAVE while still on the greetings screen!

Voila!

Now you can upload custom recordings!! Now you can easily change your custom greetings and upload new ones all the time in minutes! I would save the copies of your greetings to your desktop for future use so you do not have to re-record!!

BTW- you can reverse the process to save your already recorded greeting that is on your iphone!!

Good luck!

Thx,
