Hello all. I've just set up my voicemail on my Samsung A35. I had to record my name to set the voicemail service up.
Is there a way to revert back to the old system where one could just select a recorded generic message? ie, "This person is currently unavailable, please leave a message."
For work purposes I don't want my name read out in my voice.
I can't find a way round this, and I've been on live chat and followed all instructions.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Then after 24 hours turn voicemail back on. I’ve no clue but see if the voicemail greeting is reset.
Failing that, some mobile providers can get access and remove and rebuild our credentials on the voicemail server, as iD don’t appear to have this functionality recording another greeting without your name (as per the above reply) would be the only other option.

Unfortunately there wouldn’t be a way to go back to the generic message, sorry.
You may be able to record a message but not say your name.

That's frustrating. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
