FWIW I get lots of spam voicemails, to the point where the 'new voicemail' notification doesn't glass any confidence that a human called me.
I can, of course, listen to every voicemail, but that's not much better than just picking up the phone when I get a spam call.
- FalconSensei 6y agoI would say 95% of the voicemail is spam. The other 5% also sends me an email if they couldn't reach me. So basically the only reason I check my voicemail is to get rid of the notification on my phone
- usrusr 6y agoIt's funny how you remain completely unaware of the merits of your country's set of laws unless you hear from how things are elsewhere. We do have spam calls, but they are rare enough that people bonding over spam call infuriation might reference one that happened a year earlier.
- dannyincolor 6y agoyeah it's a total shitshow in the United States; I get 20-25 spam calls a week unless I shell out for a service to block them (TrapCall, Robocaller, etc.) I'm sure there are bills in the works, but those same bills are likely bundled along with completely unrelated nonsense.
- cozzyd 6y agoUse something like Google Voice that gives you a transcript. In fact, I bet Google could probably automatically flag spam voicemails if they tried. Of course, you may not be comfortable with giving Google access to this data...
- jhardy54 6y agoI have transcripts, but I still have to read them. You're right though, it's better than listening to the audio.
