At contact. please, say :
if FP filed at FSS :
- Call-sign / FL / QDM (magnetic direction from EGBB to YOU)
if no FP at FSS : Call-sign / ACFT type / POS (e.g. over FIXE) or QDM / ALTITUDE / Intentions

Voice Messages are always **priority** - Warning - Text messages expect delays (sometime long > 5 min)

If you feel like a Pro, why not try a CDA (Continuous Descent Approach)
e.g. From DTY FL060 - descent rate -500 ft/min - continuous descent ~175 KTS - Line up LOC RWY 33 - and get just below 3000 ft at start of ILS (9 Nmi out RWY trshld)

Have fun - Thank you
