The machine answering this message is connected to a 5000 volt power supply, and a relay which is wired to this small kitten. (Sound of a kitten meowing.) If you hang up before you leave a message, it will complete the circuit and fry the kitty. The choice is YOURS! The President is not in his office at this time.
In response to smartphones becoming more affordable and accessible to the consumer market, businesses have migrated to mobile platforms, repackaging their services to be used “on-the-go.” Business is no longer restricted to the office – word processing, payments, email, printing, meetings, and more can all be done from a smartphone.

For those with voicemail greetings that get changed about as often as a new president is elected, know that this is doing a serious disservice to the caller-recipient relationship. It signals to callers that the business is anything but an authority, most likely not very detail oriented, and has questionable overall credibility and competency. Those aren’t traits that any business wants to associate itself.
