My world was rocked the other day when I discovered that the sweet, merciful Telecom Lords have finally answered my prayers: it is now possible to turn off those agonizing instructions after your voicemail greeting. The ones that tell callers how to leave a message. I guess there are still people left on the planet who have NEVER LEFT A FREAKING VOICEMAIL MESSAGE??
Maybe it's just Sprint that has made this possible, I'm not sure yet. Here's how:
call into your voicemail, then from the main menu:
personal options (3)
greeting (2)
change your main greeting (1)
add or remove caller instructions (3)
Then you'll hear the words you've only dreamed about:
"After your greeting the following instructions can be played:PRESS 2!!!
'To leave a voice message, press 1, or just wait for the tone. To send a numeric page, press 2 now. At the tone, please record your voice message. When you are finished recording, you may hang up or press pound for more options. To leave a callback number, press 5.'
If you want these instructions to be played, press 1. If you do not want these instructions to be played, press 2."
If you would please take a few seconds to delete this monologue from your outgoing message. The world will truly be a better place.
