Voicemail message
 
Ok, so I'm thinking about changing my voicemail message on my phone, but I have no idea what to say. I think everyone knows that I'm not picking up my phone and to leave their name/number. I'm looking for a basic message without using all the cliched jokes/messages.

What message do you use for your voicemail? Or can you suggest a good basic message for me?

Thanks guys.. =)

"Hello? ......................................... Oh I forgot, I'm not availible right now...."

Fearless_Hyena 05-12-2004 08:35 PM

all I ever do is let the robot voice read off my number or say the automated "leave a message"

wilbjammin 05-12-2004 08:38 PM

try this -

"knock knock knockin' on heaven's dooo-ooo-ooorrr"

animosity 05-12-2004 08:46 PM

the first thing that came to mind was, "this is bill, you know the drill."
but sense your name isnt bill....

use your email msg, "mail! mother fucker!" only change it to "message! mother fucker!" but sense you dont want to say fucker on your voice mail.....

just say, "hey joo, you know what to do."

Chingal0 05-12-2004 08:46 PM

"Hi, this is Mike. Leave a message."

That works wonders!

WarWagon 05-12-2004 09:05 PM

"Hey, whats up?..... Whoa whoa whoa, I thought I told your sorry ass never to call me again!"

brinkn1 05-12-2004 09:20 PM

Hi, you've reached *insert name here*.

I enjoy listening to Van Halen and watching reruns of Saved By The Bell.

Leave a message.

Speed_Gibson 05-12-2004 09:22 PM

my answering machine has decent impression of W.C. Fields with the kind of thing he was known for saying.

Harshaw 05-12-2004 09:26 PM

As soon as I am done job hunting, mine will say "Hi, I never check this thing and I have caller ID. I'll know you called. Please wait 6-8 weeks for a reply"

Sung To beethoven's 9th:

Nobody's Here,
Nobody's Here,
Nobody's Here,Nobody's Here,Nobody's Here,
Nobody's Here,Nobody's Here,Nobody's Here,
Nobody's Heeeerreee,
Nobody's Heeeerreee,

So leave your naaaaaame.
Also a num-berrr.




That or,
"Believe it or not George(or whatever your name is) isn't at home
so leave a messaggge at the beep.

I must be out
or i'd pick up the phone
where could I be?
Belive it or not, i'm not home...."
BEEP.

guthmund 05-12-2004 10:15 PM

My friend's message goes as such....

Quote:

"Hey pal, you know what to do so....(imitation of the beep)

about a second later..

"Whoa whoa whoa, I didn't ask for your life story, pal. Let's try that again...(real beep)
I thought it was real funny the first time and the first dozen or so new messages were pretty fun to listen to. Pretty colorful as well. :)

He also changes the lyrics of popular songs to reflect that he's not home right now and sings them himself. That's pretty funny.

I have friends who are twins who left this as their message. Except they said "Home" instead of "Here".

I have a friend who left the entire george song as his voicemail message. Each of these was extremely funny the first couple of times that I called.

Rubyee 05-13-2004 09:46 AM

I used to play really cheesy elevator music on my phone- Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass works.

Also, I would hold the phone up to the toilet, flush it, and make the caller guess why I didn't answer the phone.

Well, I just tried, and you CAN sing it to the 9th. It just doesn't fit quite as well. ;)

NoSoup 05-13-2004 10:17 AM

Well, not sure if you are in the habit of starting your phone conversations off the same way each time, but after I noticed I did, I had a little fun w/ my voicemail. It went something like this.

"Hello?"
Pause
"Hey! How you been?"
Pause
"That's Cool, Watcha been up to?"
Pause
"Me? I'm actually not here right now, but you can leave me a message if you like"
***Beep***

As you can imagine I got some pretty interesting voicemails.

My favorite, however, was this girl that hadn't apparently understood that it was just a message, so she continued answering the "whatcha been up to" ... then she's like... uh, are you there? Hello? Hello? *click*

Lol :D

Harshaw 05-13-2004 10:22 AM

In college I had a female friend, and one day when she wasn't looking I changed hers to

(deepest manliest voice I could muster)

"Hi, This is Erin, I'm not feeling myself right now. Please leave me a message and I will get back to do."

She didn't think it was very funny.

CSflim 05-13-2004 01:01 PM

A friend used to have one similar to the trick one, mentioned laready. It went something like

Hello?.........Sorry, what? (confused)....Who is this!? And what do you want?

Redgirl 05-13-2004 01:20 PM

Mine used to say:
Hi, we're either not home or just don't feel like talking to you! So leave a message if you want.

I always think honesty is the best policy. :D

BTW- I fucking HATE the ones that make you think they really answered when it's just their recording!!

feelgood 05-13-2004 09:05 PM

"Hey, you've reached Jeff's voicemail. If you're my boss, I'm not home. If you're a family, I'm home but I ain't time to put up with your shit. If you're a hot chick, call me on my cell at 555-2152, thank you"

I need to use that.

k1ng 05-13-2004 10:38 PM

What do you guys think of this one:
"Hi, this is 'k1ng'... Ok, now it's your turn."

I haven't heard that one before, so i think its pretty original. what do you guys think about it?

hu-man 05-14-2004 06:41 AM

This is beep. I am not at home right now, but leave a message after the John. No, wait...*beep*

I just made that up! If you use it, please send me a coconut.

Redgirl 05-14-2004 08:57 AM

k1ng and hu-man- those are both new to me and funny IMO. I like short messages, especially when I call the person a lot. I hate to hear the same long damn message over and over.

The_wall 05-14-2004 10:04 AM

make it "ok so I was gonna leave a typical message here but then I thought why not make it more interesting. So I was gonna do the message where you think I'm actually here talking to you when its actually just voicemail, then I figured probably thousands of people do that. So then I tried to think of something funny to put in here but couldn't come up with anything good enough, so this is my voicemail message.

Charlatan 05-14-2004 10:41 AM

I can't come to the phone right now because I'm on the couch (or sofa or chesterfield... whatever works in your part of the world).

zxello 05-14-2004 10:46 AM

"Phone's on vibrate and I'm not finished yet, keep callin back and i'll pick up in 2-3 minutes"

God of Thunder 05-14-2004 11:53 AM

I used something similar to this for a while, but changed it while job-hunting a few years back.


Hi, I'm not home right now and I can't afford an answering machine, so I've trained the fridgerator to answer my calls. Talk real slow so he can write down the message and then he will stick it on the front with one of those cute magnets. I'll get the message the next time I go for a beer. Thanks...*beep*


If you use it, send me a beer. :thumbsup:

Reese 05-14-2004 02:17 PM

I like:

Hello?

Hey! What's up! I'm not here so just tell it to my voice mail or call me on my cell ph...
*Click*
(heavy breathing) Hello!?
*pause*
Gotcha, You're still talking to the voicemail, leave a message after the... *beep*

Ishmal 08-23-2005 06:04 PM

on one of my old phones i downloaded a voice mail message from the internet...

it went...

Music: "Mission Impossible" theme song

Voice: deep male voice

saying:

"i'm sorry, the president is not in his office at this time. please leave your Name, Number, and the Name of the Country you wish to invade after the tone and he will get back to you."

Sue 08-23-2005 07:24 PM

Here. All the answering machine messages you'll ever need.

fhqwhgads 08-23-2005 07:27 PM

I never saw the need to come up with a witty answering machine message to show people how clever I can be. That type of shit should be left for online forum signatures. :thumbsup:

LOL, that was hilarious :D

present_future 08-24-2005 06:39 AM

Hey this is (insert your name here) you know what to do after the beep. But if you really don't know wha to do, I'm not going to waste my time with you, you ignorant fuck!

That could be interesting.

BigBen 08-24-2005 06:53 AM

"Hey, remember 20 years ago, before there was such a thing as answering machines and call-display?

Remember that you had to be home in order to take a call, and it could be your best friend or a bill collector?

Remember the phone being attached to the wall in the kitchen, and if you were lucky you got a long cord so you could walk to the fridge and get something to drink?


Me Neither. Leave a fucking message."

djflish 08-24-2005 09:00 AM

To the tune of We Will Rock You by Queen:

I will, I will, call-you-back!
I will, I will, call-you-back!

micah67 08-24-2005 09:55 AM

(Movie-phone voice)

Hello! Thank you for calling the Spank-Me hotline!
If you've been bad, press 1!
If I've been bad, press 2!
Enter Now! (*beep*)

Siege 08-24-2005 01:16 PM

"Welcome to Seige's fridge. Please talk REAL slow so I can spell out your message with the magnets."

meembo 08-24-2005 05:50 PM

Right after I got divorced, I had a female friend with a beautiful, husky voice record something in Spanish that sounded great. I have no idea what it said, but it was so exotic and different that I loved it and didn't change it until I moved. I may have lost a message or two, but I can say that I haven't missed anything!
