This is something I can definitely get on board with. Stop with the stupid 'If you want to X... press... 1... If you want to Y... press... 2... Se Hable Espanol... press... numero LQDGFEWQRQE!@#!@' crap, cell-phone companies.
Play my recording, beep, record what's said. Nothing more, that's all I want you to do. Don't add preface noises, don't read extra crap off, your job is to say only what I tell you to, and beep, like any other good answering machine. And if I'm calling for my voicemail? Start playing it.
Though the last bit... may go away. Need to start pushing more folks to my Google Voice account number, the voice-mail there is so much more convenient. =-.-=2 commentsLeave a comment
I just play it up. On T-Mobile, I've named that anonymous female voice "Pearl", and after giving my greeting, I close with, "Hit it, Pearl!" Gets a few good yuks out of people sometimes. =)

I hate those. Especially when I am paying for the air time.
