Inbound call message help

All inbound calls are greeted with "thank you for calling (business name), one of our agents will be with you momentarily". How do I change it so that inbound callers only hear a conventional ring tone? We are a 3-person family business rather than some mega corp.

Wanting to "bump" this up. I have followed the article that was posted by Becky and this does not solve my issue. I'm in the same boat as the original poster. I am a small company. I do not have auto attendant set up.. the main line rings and whoever is available answers it. Currently, the callers hear silence and think that the call is not connecting. I just want it to ring. Help??

We are also in the same situation. We have one main company number that rings and only 1 person answering it.

When the caller hears the start of the custom greeting, half of them think it's an answerphone and hang up.

I would like it just to ring and the office person answers the call.

Hello @josiem have you considered updating your Company Call Handling settings to forward calls to a specific user instead of routing them to the Call Queue? This will allow you to get rid of the unnecessary greeting and streamline the process by assigning only one member. I recommend checking out the article I just posted on how to route your company calls to a specific user for detailed instructions.
