kaberettYou've reached [name]'s voicemail. If you need to get a message to me, if possible please send a text, or send an e-mail to [e-mail address], rather than leave voicemail. I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Again, please text me, or send an e-mail to [e-mail address].
(Posted because last time I mentioned thinking about doing this, a lot of you said WOW YES I SHOULD DO THAT THING-- so here is the wording I settled on, but it'd be great to know what you decide on if you do something similar!)

Date: 2013-08-23 12:59 pm (UTC)I could see an argument for relaxing that for mobile voicemail, on the basis that mobile phones are pretty personal and not generally shared by multiple people, but I've no idea whether that may have happened. Or, indeed, whether such policies may vary between organisations within the NHS.
[1] (This did cause trouble with some people who use their mobiles pretty much as answering services, sending any unknown number to voicemail.)

Date: 2013-08-23 01:48 pm (UTC)We weren't even allowed to do that, in case family members (or whoever) found out that an NHS person had called. Clearly policies do differ somewhat, and it sounds like you have a more useful compromise ;-)

Date: 2013-08-23 12:56 pm (UTC)In the past it sometimes used to be that people were charged to retrieve voicemail, but I get the feeling that isn't it in this case. So I'm curious.
Also, can you not turn off voicemail with your network?

Date: 2013-08-23 12:59 pm (UTC)As for the reason... well, I couldn't think of a suitably professional way to say "if you leave me voicemail I will probably avoid my phone for at least a week, delaying my calling you back, so Please Just Don't" ;)
