Right now, I find this to be the most obtusely un-helpful help message. You call someone and get their voice mail. You listen to their personalized message and after they are done you get an automated voice wasting another 15 seconds of your time saying:
"The person you are trying to reach is unavailable. To page this person press 5 now. To leave a voice message press '1' or wait for the tone. *pause for 3-5 seconds* At the tone, please leave your voice message. When you have finished recording, hang up or press '5' for more options"
Now come on. We've all had cell phones or been aware of their use for close to a decade now. I don't need a prompt to waste another minute of my time when I just want to leave a message and hang up. It's annoying.
what I'd like:
"Hello, I'm sorry I'm unavailable right now, leave a messagel" *beep*
... and that's it. I don't want instructions on how to operate someone else's voice mail menu or what not. I want to leave a message.
agggghh.
