Creating a Personalized Voicemail
Your business phone number comes with a voicemail inbox so callers can leave a message when you're not available. By default, you get a built-in greeting that you can customize to make it speak your brand's tone and voice. Upload a recording of your own, write a message read by a computer-generated voice or record a voicemail greeting on the spot with the Wix Owner app. Learn How
Tip:
- Let your callers know they've reached the right place by mentioning your business name and info in the voicemail greeting.
- Enable email notifications so voicemail transcripts are sent directly to your email address. Learn More
Setting Your Call Hours & 'Do Not Disturb' Mode
With Business Phone Number, you have full control of your line's call hours. Set the specific days and times when your number should be available to take calls, or set it to be available 24/7. If needed, you can also switch to the Do Not Disturb mode and make your number temporarily unavailable. Learn More
Receiving Incoming Calls & Texts
Incoming calls reach the phone number that you connected when purchasing your business number. You choose whether to have your phone display your caller's number or your business number. If you choose your business number, you can save it on your phone under a recognizable name (e.g. "Business Line") so you instantly recognize incoming business calls.
When your business number receives a call, your phone will also display a Wix Owner app notification showing the phone number of the incoming call.
Incoming text messages reach Wix Inbox, so you can easily manage the correspondence and follow up. You can see and respond to texts from both the Wix Owner app and your site's dashboard.
Sending SMS & Picture Messages
You can use SMS text and picture messages to communicate with your contacts. Incoming text messages are displayed in Wix Inbox, and you can reply on the go with the Wix Owner App, or on desktop.
Note:
If you're in the US, you may be prompted to submit information about your business before you send an SMS message. Mobile carriers require this information to help prevent spam.
Important
Using SMS messages to communicate with your contacts means that you have to obey sets of strict rules. Ensure that you are familiarized with them and comply with the requirements of the applicable laws.
