Personal greetings are unique for each availability state, so a personal greeting that is recorded while your phone is in the Out of the Office or Vacation state will only be heard when your phone is set to that state and is routed to your voice mail. When you set your availability state back to Available, your greeting will return to your standard greeting. If you set it back, it will go back to whatever the Out of the Office personal greeting was recorded as the last time you set it up (so if you mention dates in your greeting, be sure to re-record).
