    On my current cell phone, I never setup voicemail so they can’t leave messages. The message says “voicemailbox that has not been setup yet. Goodbye.”

    Sounds a whole lot like mine, with fewer cuss words of course.

    I once had my voicemail answering message as “Hello?… HELLO?… What?… Speak up!… Nope, still can’t hear you…” After word got out I had a lot of people calling just to hear it (I had the ringer shut off so I didn’t care). I love technology. And screwing with people. Especially political campaigners and salespeople.

    Just changed mine. to wit: “This phone is taking messages for (me), Boo (cat) and Darkness ( other cat). None of us has any money, so, if that’s why you’re calling, hang up and don’t call back. Otherwise, leave a message.” The caller generally hangs up right after the word ‘money’.

    Years ago a comedian had this bit about the answering message on his cell – “HI, I can’t answer you because I’m home now. Leave a message and I’ll get back to you when I’m out again.”

    Others can hear your message if you have the speaker option turned on. Great for those of us who are hearing challenged.

    I believe it was in a Diamond Lil strip I read: Phone rings and the answering machine starts “Hello this is Lil’s phone. If you think you have reached this number in error please hang up. If you are calling from a cell phone press the red button” Last panel shows Lil breaking the fourth wall saying “Its surprising how well that works.”

    I love it! I am not a prisoner of my cell phone, it’s off more than it’s on. My doctor feels compelled to leave me messages even giving out my number to other doctors despite the fact I have a landline. I think I’m going to use Earl’s message because it fits.

    My cell phone msg is very close to this. Sorry, I’m from the generation of don’t track me down when I’m out and about and if I’m not out that means I’m home. So call me there.

    I don’t buy it that he has a cell phone, and I don’t believe he could record a message on it if he had one.

    I only have a cell phone. I have a few relatives and friends who call me frequently, and they each have their own ring tone, so I know to answer. Others get the generic ring tone, until I determine they are spam or scam. I don’t delete them, I just give them the scam ring tone, so I don’t even have to bother with them if they call again, which they usually do.

    I’m fine with voice mail on my land line and text messages on my cell, but I’ve never figured out how to retrieve voice mail on my cell.

    I still like the answer Earl gave when picking up the home phone: “Go ahead caller, you’re on the air.”
