Set up voicemail
Let callers leave a message when nobody answers or when you're closed, and find the messages they leave.
Updated 27 October 2026
When voicemail picks up
Each number can send callers to voicemail in two cases. Turn on either or both.
| Case | When it happens |
|---|---|
| When no one answers | The call rang and nobody picked up |
| Outside business hours | The call came in while the number's business hours are closed |
Outside business hours only works once the number has business hours set. Until then it never triggers.
