My answering machine script is:

Hi, this is [DharmaCurious], I'm calling about [reason]. My number is 123.456.7890, again, that's 123...456...7890. if someone could call me back, I'd appreciate it. If you're able, texting is a much more reliable way of getting ahold of me. Thank you, and have a great day

I also over pronounce the numbers on the second read through. Like hitting the T hard in Two, a bit like military radio when they do numbers. I just don't say fife for five or zip for zero like they do sometimes.

First time it's pronounced normally, second time it's elongated and over enunciated. That way they hear it normal and probably get it, and then there's clarification if they missed something. I'll shuffle it around a bit if the reason I'm calling is complicated, and I'll leave the number first before the reason, so they don't have to listen through the whole thing again if they need to replay it and hear the number again.
