Has this ever happened in the history of email?

"When you are finished recording, you may hang up, or press star for more options. (pause) To leave a numeric page, press pound. (pause) *boop*"

Has this ever happened in the history of telephony? As an alternative to leaving a voice message and then hanging up, I mean.

The first one is just insulting legalese that I barely notice, but the second actively wastes my time every time I leave a voice mail for practically anyone. I hate it!

For fun next time you get one of those relay the message back to the sender with about 20 other e-mail addresses in the CC list.

Although for the second I often flub my phone message if I'm leaving anything more than a 'call me back' message and having the option to re-record can be handy.

Numeric pages, however, I've tried a couple times and I have never had one returned -- ever. I guess if they're not willing to pick up the phone they're certainly not going to respond to your stupid page.
