What is your greeting on your answering machine or cell phone?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. kimbers867 (1331)   ranked 643 out of 6,672 in cell phone 4 years ago

Right now mine just states our phone number and all our names. Depending on my mood or the time of the year, I change it.

Past Christmas's I have had the girls sing or one year our message said something like this: "We are busy feeding Santa's reindeer please leave us a message".

This past new year, I had a greeting that I was in a meeting with the Baltimore Ravens for a job interview as their new headcoach. That one got a lot of chuckles because all our friends know I am such a huge football fan.

As you can tell I have fun doing this.

So what have you ever recorded on your greeting??

Mine say:
Hello this is Albert the answering Machine. Nobodys here right now, they have left me home, again, sigh.
So please please talk to me and don't just hang up.

I love it!!!!! What a great greeting!!!

Not a smart idea to say no one is home right now. I would just leave it with we can't come to the phone. That way no info is volunteered to unwelcome guest.

Sorry, been there before and well, will not do that ever again as it is trouble telling people you are not home. I screen my calls and if I want to answer, I pick up if not they leave a message, but I am home

I tried several things, and I never liked how I sounded, or the message sounded, so in the end I made it really simple. If someone gets my answering machine, all they hear is, "It's Amber, leave a message." But does it help that I sound really friendly when I say it? LOL

Personally, I think attitude is everything! Keep playing around with it you never know!

Mine is a robot voice saying that you are free to leave a message though the toxic neuro gas has probably already taken effect on the owner of the phone. It's funny if you've played Portal. It's GLADOS.

Cool, I don't know the game but I bet your friends get it.

Geez aren't you getting clever and busy! LOL... we are not into fone messages! LOL

I keep the generic guy on there... I hate answering machines!! LOL

I have been prone to turn it off... if they don't know my cell phone... well I probably don't want to talk anyway! LOL

Hope you have a good day!


myLot reputation of 99/100. kimbers867 (1331)   ranked 643 out of 6,672 in cell phone  4 years ago

Now see I'm the opposite, I hate my cellphone. I only have it for emergencies. When we were out the house I had the calls forwarded to the cellphone and I hated the constant interruptions. LOL Wow I sound like my dad, when our house phone use to ring. Before the days of answering machines, I would get so mad if he would tell me the phone rang but he didn't answer it. My feeling is that if it is important people will leave a message.


myLot reputation of 74/100. icyorchid (1382)   ranked 2,098 out of 6,672 in cell phone  4 years ago

I love it when it is a business call and they hang up on the machine. lol

I get calls for about 6 different people who DON'T live with me and they hang up so I can't tell them. lol I hate my house phone and am getting it disconnected soon. Need me call my cell :)

Mine is just the automated greeting, "The number you are trying to reach - 555-555-5555 - is not available. Please try your call again later. Or, at the beep, please leave a message." I hate the way my voice sounds on answering machines - like I actually am happy that you called (I have a hate-hate relationship with telephones, esp. with a sleeping baby).


myLot reputation of 99/100. kimbers867 (1331)   ranked 643 out of 6,672 in cell phone  4 years ago

I remember turning off the ringers to my phone when the girls were sleeping. Thankfully now they are older and sleep through it, LOL.

We just have a simple one. You have reach the Simpson please leave a message. Hubby has one on his cell where he keeps saying Hello Hello anyone there? I hate it because we always try to answer him.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kimbers867 (1331)   ranked 643 out of 6,672 in cell phone  4 years ago

Oh I hear you. I have done that many times with people.

What I really hate is when you get the message please listen to the music while your party is being located. No, let me just leave a message you don't need to find them, it's not that important. LOL

I wouldn't do that on our answering machine, I have the default message.......you know just leave a message and we will get back to you. lol

Leaving names and phone # on the machine is giving anyone who doesn't know you information and act like they know you, so be careful with that.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kimbers867 (1331)   ranked 643 out of 6,672 in cell phone  4 years ago

I know what you are saying and we are careful. Our number is unlisted and you can't even find it searching google. LOL


myLot reputation of 74/100. icyorchid (1382)   ranked 2,098 out of 6,672 in cell phone  4 years ago

Funny, Our number is unlisted also, and I found it on google! I was not happy I can tell you that.

I told my daughter to look up her online name and she was so frazzled about finding everything she has done online listed on google. lol
