During voicemail setup, it requests a PIN then it tells me to record my name.
I do not want to vocally record my name.
I want the system to play a default message to callers, such as "You have reached (10-digit phone number)." On CDMA devices there is an option for this, but GSM forces users to vocally record a name announcement. This is unprofessional to the point of asinine. I tried just hanging up when it reached that point in the voicemail setup, because as far as I was concerned, I was done. I had already set my PIN, so nothing more was needed. However, when I go to check my voicemail now, it starts the whole setup process over again, telling me to choose a PIN, etc.
How hard can it be to fix this one minor thing? Yes, I use the word "fix" because it is a problem, not a feature.

I would also like to have automated greetings..
Hi Cornel, I'm going to bring this up at our next feature meeting to find out a reason why we aren't offering it and to see if it is something that we could get. The next meeting isn't for a couple weeks so you won't hear from me for a bit but I'll be back with an answer once I have one.
Thanks for bringing this up again by the way, we're looking into features more now a day so hearing about this one is putting it back on our radar of what people are interested in.
This ticket was submitted in 2017, and this has yet to be updated? I used the automated greeting for privacy reasons. I insist upon having instructions provided for how to enable automated voicemail greetings.
I repeat, this is a *privacy* issue. My voicemail is currently useless, and my old network has been discontinued. Why are you forcing this privacy invasion?
