I don't listen to voicemail, but it is rude not to accept it just as it is rude to leave long messages on voicemail. The caller has already connected with you, for you to tell them to then hangup and try again with a txt or email is pretty obnoxious and arrogant. I don't listen to voicemail, because I have googlevoice.
