In order to access voicemail, i was forced to set up a personalised greeting. When i didn't want to. 

 

None of the options in the voicemail settings suggest im able to change it to something generic. Why not?

 

How do i get rid of the personalised greeting?

    Why not just record your phone number instead of your name? That isn’t giving the caller any extra information about yourself that they don’t already have.

    I agree you shouldn’t have to record anything but this workaround works for me.

    Try this. It’s not a perfect workaround, but here’s something that might help. I used Google Translate to generate a voicemail message like: “The person you are calling is unable to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone.” Then I played it aloud using the speaker function and recorded that instead of stating my name. The audio isn’t flawless, but it gets the point across. I’m with the others on this — I’d rather not share my name with potential scammers.
