Hi,
I want to change my voicemail message based on the time of day. I would
like a message that says "Sorry the office is now closed." after a
certain time, and says "Sorry I am unavailable / Busy / etc" before.
I have come up with two ways of doing it:
1. A cron job to replace the files (messy)
2. Using different mailboxes at the different times (this means I have 2
mailboxes to check).
Is there a way that the voicemail could be enhanced by adding a feature
like this?
With thanks,
Tim

Just use two different contexts for the two times of day (open/closed) and use Playback to play the correct message before going direct into voicemail without any prompt.

What you *could* do is record one greeting as the unavailable message and another as the busy message and during the day, just play the unavailable one and at night play the busy one...
