The message I recorded says, "Para espanol, oprima dos. For instructions in English, please stay on the line." Then the Verizon recording adds, "Please leave a message at the sound of the beep."
I was stationed in Hawaii for five years, and it's a true melting pot over there. Foreign cultures make up a large part of the place, and I learned the different ways that people answer phones. The Japanese say, "Moshi moshi", the Koreans say, "Yobosayo", the Australians say something that sounds like, "Hullo", etc.
At my current profession, many people who only speak Spanish call our phones, and once they make that known, I switch over to a Spanish greeting. If and when the caller ID shows an international call is coming in from a Latin-American country, I automatically answer in Spanish.
