I can't speak for all mobile services but I know that with T-Mobile
you can press 1 for a callback/page so someone could just put their
phone to not ring and just forward immediately to voicemail and have
in your outgoing message. This is is Joe. Please press 1 to leave a
callback number. I will call you back as soon as possible.

On AT&T (at least the TDMA service) you press 5 to leave a
page/callback so you'd just go into your preferences and in your
outgoing message: This is Joe. Please press 5 to leave a callback
number. I will call you back as soon as possible. Keypress may be
different for the GSM service.
