Do you dislike the voicemail instructions?
Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2019 6:57 pm
Some Sonic telephone lines with voicemail play instructions to the
caller after the customer's greeting. (Their presence may depend on
how old the phone service is: older lines seem to be without the
instructions.) The instructions are similar to these:
AFTER THE TONE, PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE. WHEN YOU'RE
FINISHED, YOU MAY HANG UP OR PRESS 5 FOR MORE OPTIONS.
The beep follows the instructions.
Such instructions are profoundly unnecessary because there's no
one (over the age of 3) who needs to be told how to leave a voicemail
these days.
I called Sonic tech support to ask about these instructions. Their
quick take is that the instructions can't be removed. (I don't see the
option in my member tools, but mine is an older line that never had
instructions.)
My clients who have Sonic dislike the instructions.
Eventually, I may harangue Sonic's management to create the option
to remove the instructions (or perhaps persuade Sonic to remove
them for all users in one fell swoop).
