Default Cell phone message

I want to leave a message in Spanish on my cell. This is what I want to say :

I am not available at the moment,please leave a message and I will call you back very soon.

This is what I found. Is it too formal? No soy en el momenta, licencia disponible al mensaje por favor y le llamare detras muy pronto.

Thanks

It is far from correct - the horrors of online translators! Something like this is more like it, although there are probably better ways of saying "I will return your call":

Thanks. I am always told about the online translations, and I don't have my dictionary with me today (which may have been worse if I had) lol.

So my message will say "I am not aavailable at the moment. Please leave your message and I will contact you as soon a possible"

I'm pretty good at translating Spanish to English (with a few glitches). I like this message and I am going to put it on my phone muy pronto.

Muchisimas Gracias
