New Feature: Customize Your Own Voicemail Greeting!

Posted on by

We’re proud to announce an awesome new feature in TextNow: the ability to customize your own voicemail greeting.

A several months ago we introduced free calling and free voicemail. However, when your friends reach your voicemail, they are greeted with a boring voicemail greeting.

Not anymore, you can now record your own voicemail greeting so your friends can hear you before they leave a voicemail.

Below, we will show you how to record your own voicemail greeting with the latest version of TextNow + Voice for iOS (4.4.10).

First, go to ‘Settings’ by tapping on the gear cog by the bottom left of the app.

Once you are in ‘Settings’, tap on ‘Voicemail’.

Once you are in ‘Voicemail Settings’, tap ‘Custom Greeting’. Afterwards, an audio recorder will appear near the bottom. Tap on the red record button to start recording your new voicemail greeting. Once you are finished, tap the red stop button. You can hit the play button to playback your recording. If you are unhappy with your recording, you can tap ‘New Recording’ to start over. Once you are happy with your recording, tap ‘Save’.

Voila! You have set your own new voicemail greeting. Now get your friends to call your TextNow phone number and see if they hear the new greeting.

If you have any questions or ran into any issues, feel free to reach out to our support team at http://support.textnow.com.

Happy Texting! :)

      Just delete it by going to your contacts and clicking on them and scrolling down to the bottom and delete it

  • livingiswonderful

    How can you change your number if nobody else has it?

  • HH

    I just added the app to my iPhone but am wondering how the free calling works? Will I be charged for calls I make? Will it use my cell phone contract, or over the Internet and not touch my contract? I have recently moved to Europe from the US and would like to be able to keep in touch this way with friends and Family. Can I call the US without any charge whatsoever?

      Your number is free no matter what don’t have to pay for it

    • Kia

      As long as u keep texting with that number you can keep it. But if u don’t text for like a month you lose that number. It has happend to me before.
