ABILITIES

Most modern answering machines have a system for greeting. The owner may record his or her message that will be played to the caller, or an automatic message if the owner does not record one. Answering machines can usually be programmed to take the call at a certain number of rings. This is useful if the owner is Screening Calls and does not wish to speak with all callers.

PRANK ANSWERING MACHINE MESSAGES

Some people use answering machines as a form of a Prank . They leave a message that makes the caller think that they've reached a number other than the one they really have, or make the caller think that they're actually having a conversation. Some examples include . . .
  • "Hello, you've reached the Gay community..."

  • "Hey, this is Orlando Bloom (Or another famous celebrity). I'm busy right now, but leave your name and number and I'll get back to you.

  • "We're sorry, but the number you have dialed has sent a telephone virus into your system. Please contact your phone company to see how serious the damage is."

  • "Hello. Who is this? (pause) Oh, hi! How are things? (pause) Really? (pause) Wow. So anyway, what did you want? (person continues to decieve the caller)


Most of these pranks aren't believeable, and are usually just used for the irritation factor.
