From your Caller ID.

Sometimes, if time is of the essence, I don't leave a message either. 'I need to talk to you NOW or not at all.' What would be the point of leaving THAT message. And i don't bother with "Pickup, Susie, if you're there."

If they have caller id and want to call me back, that's up the them. Often, leaving a message wastes my time and theirs.

As an aside, those stinking calls from Nevada have stopped. Yay.
