# How do I set up sipgate voicemail?

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="sipgate classic" %}
The sipgate voicemail is your intelligent answering machine. All users will find a personal voicemail in their sipgate account under [Telephony](https://app.sipgate.com/routing). By clicking on the voicemail, most settings can be made directly.

Admins can create group voicemails via the account administration **Group voicemails** that several participants can access.

The time periods in which the voicemail is active and which phone numbers and devices your voicemail is linked to are managed in the [Visual Routing](https://help.sipgate.de/hc/de/articles/4407946739345-Visual-Routing-wo-klingelt-eigentlich-was-).

A standard greeting for your callers is already preset in your voicemail. However, you can easily upload a **custom greeting** as an MP3 (max. 10 MB) or record it directly.

Messages left by your callers are **audio and text file** saved and are also in your [event list](https://help.sipgate.de/hc/de/articles/4403663747985-Die-Ereignisliste-das-Postfach-f%C3%BCr-Ihre-Telefonie-) to be found. Listening by phone is possible from any device – with a PIN and/or from selected phone numbers. In addition, you can have new voicemail messages reported to you by email or SMS.

In the following articles you will find **help** for the individual functions and settings:

  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="sipgate neo" %}
The **sipgate voicemail** is a free, smart **voicemail** for your **s**ipgate phone line. If you cannot answer a call, voicemail takes over. Callers can leave a message, which is saved as a **audio and text file saved** is.

**Admins** can set that all users receive a **email notification** as soon as a voicemail arrives in a **personal channel** or a **shared channel**, in which they are a member, arrives. The notification contains the **Call data**, which **audio file** as well as the **transcription** of the message.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Voicemails can be up to **four hours** long. After that, the **recording is automatically ended**.
{% endhint %}

**Customize voicemail settings**

All **user** can adjust the settings of their voicemail in the **personal channels** individually:

* **Waiting time** before forwarding to voicemail
* **Own greetings** as MP3 file upload (max. 10 MB)
* Alternatively via **Text-to-Speech** (max. 225 characters).

You can find the settings in the area **Telephony** under your respective **personal routing**.

**Voicemail in the sipgate app**

**Incoming voicemails** appear in the sipgate app as a **event** with the title **“Missed call with voicemail”**. There you can see at a glance:

* **Time and duration** of the call
* **audio file** of the voicemail to **play**
* **transcription** to **view or copy**

By a **right click (desktop)** or **Touch & Hold (mobile device)** on the event, further options open in the **context menu**:

* **Call:** Direct dialing of the displayed **phone number or contact**
* **Checkbox:** Mark event as **“open”**
* **Copy phone number:** phone number into the **clipboard**
* **Download voicemail:** audio file locally **save**
* **Delete:** event including all information, notes, and transcription **irreversibly remove**
* **Delete transcription:** Only the **transcript** will be **permanently deleted**
