Do you hate those annoying cell voice mail introductions before leaving voice message?I do. These very long instructions waste time and, if you're calling on your cell phone, burn minutes.
There is a fix for that.
In your voice mail message, stop telling callers you're away from the phone or on another line. Just leave a brief outgoing message telling callers how to skip the prompts. Every company use different shotcut.
So, if you want to save your time or your friends/callers time please use this trick:
-If you're an AT&T customer simply record the following outgoing message: "This is (your name); press 0 to leave a message." Immediately your friend or co-worker will hear the familiar beep that tells them it's time to begin recording.
-If you're a Sprint customer, replace the '0' with a '1' in your message.
-If you're a Verizon customer, replace the '0' with the '*' (star sign) in your message.
- If you're a T-Mobile customer, replace the '0' with the '#' (pound sign) in your outgoing message.
When you call to someone's cell phone use trhe same trick at the begining of long automated instruction - press the button/shortcut used by his/her provider and this intstuction will shut down at once and you can start recording your message right after the tone.
Remember:
for AT&T - press 0,
for Sprint - press 1,
for Verizon - press '*' (star)
for T-Mobile - press '#' (pound)
Neat, isn't?
