Right now?

I heard this telephone message: Is it necessary to say 'right now'? thank you

I am not able to take your call right now, please leave me a message and I will call you back as soon as I can.

No it isn't required. It does make it more friendly though. I can't take your call right now means at this moment.

  • No it isn't required.

  • I can't take your call right now means at this moment.
  • I can't take your call is a general statement so you will never take it.
  • People would take it that way but would find it more terse than adding the right now.
