Need help with voice mail greeting.

[Truckie]

I wanted to change my voice mail greeting on my cell phone and wanted to see what some of the TDR folks have on theres. Right now mine is like this. "Hi this is Mike leave you name number and a massage and I will get back to you". The problem is I hate it when people call and just say there name and say call me back. My theory is if you don't leave me a message than it isn't all that important for me to call you back because you didn't leave me a message. Right?

9 times out of 10 I do answer the phone unless I really cant talk at that time or if its some one I know and really don't want to talk to them, usually a PITA friend that usually wants nothing.

So lets see what some of your voice mail greetings are like.

Thanks.

MIKE

My girl had her cell answering like so...



Hello (lots of noise in background)... Hello!?, (her muffled shouting of people to be quiet 'cause she can't here the phone), HELLO??!!,,, Leave a message. . *BEEP*



I don't know how many people were shouting back saying "HELLOOO, I CAN HEAR YOU!, HELLOOO!" then they roll their eyes and some hang up, others went ahead and left a message.

My friend has the best message.



"Phone go beep. You leave message. "



You can find some nice ones to put on if you look around the net.

Number 10

My wife and I can't come to the phone right now,

but if you'll leave your name and number, we'll get

back to you as soon as we're finished.



Number 9

Hello, you are talking to a machine. I am capable of

receiving messages. My owners do not need siding,

windows or a hot tub, and their carpets are clean.

They give to charity at the office and don't need their

picture taken. If you're still with me, leave your name

and home phone number and they will get back to you.



Number 8

This is not an answering machine - this is a telepathic

thought-recording device. After the tone, think about

your name, your number, and your reason for calling...

and I 'll think about returning your call.



Number 7

Hi! John's answering machine is broken. This is his

refrigerator. Please speak very slowly, and I'll stick

your message to myself with one of these magnets.



Number 6

Hi. This is John: If you are the phone company, I already

sent the money. If you are my parents, please send money.

If you are my bank, you didn't lend me enough money.

If you are my friends, you owe me money. If you are a

female, don't worry, I have LOTS of money.



Number 5

A is for academics, B is for beer. One of those reasons

is why we're not here. So, leave a message.



Number 4

Hello! If you leave a message, I'll call you soon.

If you leave a "sexy" message, I'll call sooner.



Number 3

Hi. Now YOU say something.



Number 2

Hi. I'm probably home, I'm just avoiding someone I

don't like. Leave me a message, and if I don't call

back, it's you.



And the Number1 Answering Machine Message



Hello, you've reached Jim and Sonya. We can't pick up the

phone right now, because we're doing something we really

enjoy. Sonya likes doing it up and down, and I like doing

it

left to right... real slowly. So leave a message, and when

we're done brushing our teeth, we'll call you back.

I had a message similar to Mcummings girl. It went Hello?... ... Hello?... ... Well apparently you are there but I'm not so leave a message. I got some interesting messages from people who called the wrong numbers.
