After reading some of the post on here, I've decided to change my message on my answering machine. I currently use the standard or basic robotic message that comes with the system, which said's the following: "Hello please leave a message after the tone".

My new message will now say: "Hello, you've reached my home phone that I never answer because of all the BS calls that I get here. However, if you would still like to waste your time and leave a message, please do so at the sound of the beep".

This recording will come on after two rings!
