    Personal message even... so people realize they got the correct number.

    It also gets wrong numbers to hang up.

    I have my name on mine but for some reason that doesn't stop wrong numbers from leaving messages anyway.

    Mine just says "go". It doesn't give wrong numbers enough time to think before they have to start talking.

    I actually like it when people get the wrong number and sound REALLY confused when they leave a message.

    Neither because it is one of those prefab messages that take 47 minutes to get through, telling you all your options and that you can hang up whenever you want. If I were to bother putting my own message on, it would have my name in it.

    How old are you?

    Mine is a simple professional message. I leave my first, but not my last name. I might get one solicitation call a month. Never had a wrong number leave a message before. In fact, now that I think about it, I haven't changed my voicemail greeting in over 4 years...

    I have wrong # texted someone before. That was awkward.

    I only say the number. I don't like when people (solicitors, collectors, etc.) are able to cross-reference my name and my number with an audio confirmation from me that I'm not able to screen who hears. I have a button on my cell and house phone that allows me to silence a call, which I use frequently. I don't like phones at all (phonophobia?), but I have to have them for other people's sake. Kinda like condoms.
