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.. =)

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."

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.

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, 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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!
