I've listened to that automated announcement prior to leaving a message and thought "why would I page them if I'm leaving a message?" And if I'm leaving the message on a cell phone don't they have my number in their caller id? Why would I enter it again, I can rarely remember it myself.
I guess you could doubly bug them with a message and a page.
Or, maybe a page is much more intriguing. You leave a message and tell them why you're calling but a page makes them wonder. It makes them want to call you to find out what you had to say.
Someone may get a page from me soon…
I would not know how to respond to a page. Does it come over a loud speaker? This puts fear into me; like the times I wandered off looking at toys at wal-mart and my mom would “page” me over the intercom speaker informing me and everybody else in the store that someone (me) better get to the front immediately.
Please dont do this to me David, just stick to the conventional way of leaving a voicemail.
Thanks
that would be cool for a loud speaker to make an announcement wherever you are!
