in these days of answering machines, last number re-dial, caller i.d.
etc. it is rare that a phone will ring more than 5-6 times. I get tired of having people hang up when they hear my answering mach. ans. and they do not leave a message...i wish they would leave a message even if it is
"sorry-wrong number..."
i ususlaly let it ring 10 times, and usually leave a detailed message
on a machine-not just "I called'; or "call me" but " i am want to talk to you about...." or " how about going to that concert on sat." or the
specifics of my call...i wish people would leave a message that actually says something instead of very little info...
