When I'm trying to leave a voice mail and I have to sit through a long obnoxious automated message, such as "The caller you are attempting to reach is not available. At the tone I will take your message, or press 5 to page this person. Press 6 to leave a call back number. When you are finished with your message, if you are satisfied with your message, press pound, or hang up to deliver the mesage, or press star for more options. [PAUSE...] [PAUSE...] [CALLER COMMITTING SUICIDE...] BEEEEEP!"
I discovered, in my voice mail (which is provided by Sprint), how to eliminate the long automated greeting. Here is how to do it:
- Call into your voice mail
- Main Menu
- Press 3: Change Personal Options
- Press 2: Greetings
- Press 1: Change Main Greeting
- Press 3: Add or remove caller instructions that are played after your greeting
- Press 2: Do not want these instructions played
That's it! Together we can make the world less annoying one voice mail greeting at a time! :)

I better look into this.
Done and done. I feel the same way and often contemplate rash acts of violence while listening to such instructions.
When you're leaving a voicemail, you can also press the pound key to skip both their message and the instructions. This works for most carriers, though for one of them (I think it might be Verizon), the pound key will prompt you for a pin number (so that users can check their voicemail from a landline). So, press 1 instead.
THANK YOU THERE IS A GOD
unI want that automated instruction to be in Spanish. Can't seem to find anyone, including Sprint, who knows how to make that happen.
I use a HTC Hero and Sprint.
