Why voicemail systems need to be optimized

1 pointsby pjy04over 14 years ago
Shouldn't a voicemail say "Sorry [NAME] isn't here. Leave a message.... BEEP"<p>Not this way: "Sorry the person you have reached at 310-555-5555 is not available at the moment. If you would like to leave a callback number press 1 now. If you would like to leave a message please wait at the end to leave one or press 2... ... ... BEEP"

That's intentional. More minutes wasted by customers results in more money in the pockets of the wireless telecom companies. (Overall.)
