Normal. My message directs callers to contact my assistant if they don't immediately hear back from me. My assistant gets my voicemail messages as well so, when I'm gone, she knows to respond.
My clients, however, are all informed and know that if they need me, I will get back to them by the end of the day when I'm traveling.

No I do not change my voicemail. I'm on "vacation" at the moment and had a closing two days ago, another closing today, submitted an offer two days ago... I do have someone standing by in case I need something done in person but it's sort of business as usual.

Depends on the vacation. Usually no because we still answer calls the same but if we know we will be less available we change it to add a line that gives them another agent in our company to call as well. -Kasey

Normal and I check in. I do let those that I am working with know that I will be out and not as accessible. If I am somewhere with NO service, I would update my message to reflect that I was out.

It's an extreme case that I change my voicemail, Will Hamm ... as I typically answer my calls, even on vacation days. Thank God I have a VERY understanding wife ...

If I'm off to London or Paris, I will change my voicemail. Be aware, some cellular systems are not compatible which means a traveler may need to purchase a compatible SIMS card.

My phone goes with me when I travel. Most callers have no idea that I am out of the area. I may not respond or pick up as quickly as when I am home, but I take care of business.
