    I do too, phone connections can suck and cause breakups and spoken numbers can be misheard. Say it twice. Little bugs me more than when someone leaves a number in a voice mail and it gets cut off or garbled.

      If you’re calling a business and leaving a voicemail they may not always have easy access to the number that placed the call either. It’s stupid, but it happens. And even if they do, it’s confirmation for them that the number to return the call is the same.

      The real move is to say your name and phone number at the start and end of the message, that way if they need to pay it again because they didn’t record the info quick enough, they don’t need to listen to the entire message again.
