I'd prefer an open source software solution but, either way, they'd start leaving voicemails, which is still annoying to manage. However, a lot of them already leave a 3 second blank voicemail, so that would at least eliminate the ignore/reject call step and the rude interruption.
- murph-almighty 8y agoI stopped using voicemail due to the shitty UI back when I had a dumb phone- I didn't want to spend 5-10 minutes waiting to listen to all my voicemails and sit through a robotic dialog. Today, I use an iPhone and now use voicemail as a basic call filter. If I get a call from a number I don't recognize I immediately let it go to voicemail. At my leisure later in the day I can check the transcription service to see if it's spam. I find it bizarre that the feature fell out of use for me, and came back into it because of this recent spate of spam phone calls.
- criddell 8y agoWhy do voicemail systems even notify me of a 3 second silent message? Just delete them.
- jasonkostempski 8y agoThat would be nice too. And locally run software should be able to handle it, so you don't have to hand all your voice mail over to a third party. Even 3 seconds of not silence is probably "It's me. Call me back when you get a sec." which the missed call notice already handles. I don't waste time listening to them any more, but clearing the notice and deleting the message is annoying.
