Winner gets a gold

I just bought a new smart phone and I can't use the phone until I set up my voicemail message.

What do you suggest?

"Hi, you've reached the voicemail of VernalTemptress. Please leave your name and number along with your message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

Generic, but short and lets the person get on with life.

Or you can go with something my friend does and use a shitty text to speech robot found on the internet to scream into the phone:

"I AM A ROBOT FROM THE PLANET FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU."

All a matter of style really.

I knew someone that had the theme song from 2001: A Space Odyssey as their voicemail, with their comments about who's apartment it was interspersed throughout the song. Its a little too long for my tastes though.

I prefer the simple. "Hey its XXX. You know the drill."

I did my voicemail half in french and half in english for about two years in college.

Mostly because my number was the same as someone else in french speaking Ontario so I had to make sure they knew who they were calling.

I forget what my voicemail message is. I set it up years ago and haven't received complaints yet.

I've never set up a voicemail message, because I am not checking it anyway.

I like Call's proposal though.

I'm thinking of something like either of the following messages because a) I often can't hear my phone ringing or don't answer it before the caller goes to voicemail or b) I'm out driving and it's "lose your license" illegal to be caught speaking on the phone while driving (I don't to mess with a handsfree kit either).

"I'm out to find myself. But if you talk to me before I get back, tell me to stay put."

"Hi. I can not find my phone right now. Please leave a message so I can call you after I locate it."


What do you think?

Well, actually it's just a 40-50 Euro fine.


Edit: Oh, and the second one's better.

You've reached VernalTemptress. I either cant come to the phone right now or I dont want to talk to you so leave a message and we'll find out which it is.

When the service tells you to start recording your message, put your phone up to the speaker and blare this:
