Believe it or not, this is a perfect time to leave a voice mail. The not answering spam calls I am normalized with, but the refusal to use voice mail for important calls is inexcusable.
I tried many years ago and couldn’t figure it out. I’ve been hoping it will eventually fill up one day so people just can’t leave messages anymore, but as I type that out, I realize that’s probably highly unlikely to ever happen.

There’s people out there who haven’t disabled their voice mail? Wild…

My voicemail box is full because I don’t have the heart to clear it, I have a bunch of old messages from my father who passed
You should try to get those saved somewhere else, they won’t last forever in voicemail and you could lose them.
I wish I had saved some of my father’s messages 😔
It’s been like 13 years so either they are there or they’re gone. I can’t bring myself to listen to them, it’s too sad
I would not listen to it. Just send a text
I don’t have a voicemail set up specifically because I don’t want to dial in to check it. If you’re a real person just text me to get my attention.
Dialing into your voicemail isn’t as common anymore. I think my carrier still allows me to do that, but mostly it’s all handled on my phone nowadays
Dunno about other countries, but in Brazil you have to pay to listen to your voicemail
Never had that in the US AFAIK, but we used to have to pay by the SMS text.
