Mine emails me an attachment with the recording. It's a lot easier than the old call up voicemail to listen to your messages etc. Lot of people prefer it to writing with their phones.

Back in the day, I realized there wasn't really a voice-mail message length limit, so I had a 20 minute rant about why I don't want voicemails

i think I have my voicemail as the disconnected phone sound to stave off robocallers. anybody who wanted to call me texted me immediately after to confirm.

But one could set up an Archer style voicemail prank!

I don’t like voicemail typically, but I have some voicemails from family members who have passed away and I cherish listening to them.

I disabled my voicemail. Problem solved.

Until someone sends you a voice to text message. Like fuck that.

i have mine turned off from the cell provider. best thing i did.

Need to teach her how to turn off voicemail redirection.

It's a double edged sword:

1.) Not all phone lines have text enabled (especially service lines).

2.) One reason you might not answer a call is because you don't recognize it. So if the line in question doesn't have text options then you might miss important calls if you don't check your voicemail.

3.) If you don't take unknown calls and you don't check voicemails then you probably won't answer random text messages either.

At the end of the day more people need to be grown ups and at least have a decent voicemail message and check their voicemails as they come in. It's not an all or nothing discussion, it's a do the minimum discussion. Screen your calls, check your voicemails, call people back who seem legit. It's not rocket science, it's adulthood.

My little sister's voicemail says something along the lines of , "Hi, I'm either sleeping or playing video games. Leave a message and maybe I'll call back"

Damn I'm so curious about the venn diagram overlap between pet who hate calls and people who love video "news" like tiktok. I bet it's near a circle.

Voice mail still has uses. There are times you need to be able to receive calls from businesses or government entities. Often those entities don't have call centers set up to let their workes send texts. Sometimes the only way you can hear news you need to hear is via a phone call.

Voicemail would be fine if you could click on the voice message in a table and so it could skip the time and number

I worked for nearly a decade as product support for various voice mail applications, so I feel very strongly about this.

Fuck voice mail.

Brilliant. I'm stealing this.

I am hard of hearing. I hate voicemail. And, I hate that I can no longer record voicemail. There has been too many incidences where I can't understand the crucial details in a voicemail.

And then people wonder why nobody has friends and prefer talking to an AI
