To borrow a catch phrase from the Fast Show, "today I have mostly been annoyed by people who do not record a voicemail greeting on their mobile phone."
To be met with "Welcome to the voice mail box for 07 blah, blah, blah" is about as much good to me as a chocolate teapot. How do I know I haven’t typed the wrong number?
It should take about thirty seconds to record a message for your adoring callers and it will make you a much better person, honest. I reserve the right to leave one word messages for people who don’t comply. That word will, of course, be "muppet".
Here’s a great trick Bargain Hunters. Those too lazy to record a mobile phone greeting (and to change the default PIN number) can be easily pleased this Christmas with a delightful overly-personal greeting.
Here they are, those default PIN numbers
Vodafone 3333
O2/Cellnet 8705
You may need to borrow their phone to access them initially.
Make it an annual present, change their default PIN number and their fun never stops.
