None of us can always answer our telephones because we are usually busy working or doing short trips. But aren’t you tired of having serious and boring greetings on your voice mail.

Don’t you dislike the common and usual greetings? Well if that is the case you can always leave funny and creative voice mail greetings.

The following is a list of free suggestions of different voice mail messages that can be used as samples for cell phones or answering machines.

Funny Voice Mail Greetings:

I am a voice inside a box, no one is here to talk to me right now. Please talk to me when I make a funny noise. Then the people that own me will call you back.

One, two, and three,
are you trying to talk to me?
Well I am not here,
but be of good cheer.
Leave me a message at the tone,
to talk to me on the phone.

I am running all over creation and back today,
but leave me a message in your own special way.
When I get back and can listen to what you say,
I will call you back but on a less hectic day.

Are we home yet? Are we home yet? Are we home yet? Oh, guess not, leave us a message at the tone.

Hi there, how have you been? I have missed talking to you so much. When was the last time we talked? (Have you finally figured out that I am not home?) Leave a message at the tone.

I am too lazy to get up and answer the phone,
so leave your important message at the tone.

I am trapped in this box and I can’t get out. Help me please!!!! Just speak into this box, when it makes that weird sound, and I will be able to get out and call you back.

By now you probably know the drill,
so leave your message at the shrill.

Hello? Hello? (insert knocking sound) Hello? Anyone there? If you are, talk to me if you care. (the beep sound).

Don’t you just dislike leaving a message on a machine? Oh well if you want to talk to me though you are going to have to leave a message on my machine at the beep.

This is my answering machine you are talking to. I am not interested in you leaving a message if you are a salesperson (no matter what you are selling), a collection agency, or anything else that will bother me for no good reason. But if you are my friend please leave your message at the beep.

I am so terribly busy at the moment (insert the sound of dogs barking, kids playing, a screw driver noise, music and everything else you can think of), that I can’t come to the phone right now.

When I complete all of my task I will call you back. Leave a message at the beep. BEEP!

Don’t you just dread long greetings on answering machines? Like everyone singing or talking on and on. Or explaining that they have gone to the beach or something. Well leave me a message at the tone and I will call you back after I get home from my vacation.

This is actually John and Mary’s chalkboard here. Leave a message and I will write it down, don’t blame me if it gets erased.
