removing Voicemail name

Is there a way to remove the recorded name part of the voicemail? The system won’t accept dead air as an answer, so the only other option is to make a random noise, I don’t want to provide someone calling me with a name or number just an automated ‘I can’t answer the phone leave a message’ etc.

Hi ​@micdon 

Can’t you just record the ‘name’ part of the message with ‘the owner of this number’ or something similar that is non specific? A ‘name’ is required in the set-up of your voicemail as, at this time, there are no options to set up a generic greeting.
I am assuming, that when the mjority of people get connected to someones voicemail they already know that the person they are calling is not available and if they want to leave a message they will do so.
Usually, like myself, if they wish to have their call returned they will only hear ‘You have reached the voicemail of blah blah blah blah…….’ whilst they are trying to compose a succinct message in their head.

Apologies if this is not what you wanted to hear but it is the only option at this time.

Goof luck x

not really, I guess I’ll just cough into the phone when it asks for my name and leave it at that.
