I don't know what to say.

Body

If you need to change a greeting, follow the instructions in the Voice Mail Greetings article.

These are suggested greetings. You are welcome to record any greeting that you feel represent you and the university in a positive light. The "press zero" option for most mailboxes have been configured as your department main line. If it has not, it will ring the Campus Information Desk. If that is not wanted, please contact DoTS to have DoTS change that for you.
