You probably want to put a personal hello message on your voice mail. To deal with your greetings you press 82. Press 1 for your external greeting and 2 for the internal one At that point you can listen to a greeting by pressing 2; re-record it by pressing 5, talking, and pressing # when you've finished; and erase it with 76. (It plays the external greeting for everybody if you don't record an internal one.)
