I have never in my life received or listened to a voice message. To me that's something from 90s movies. Weird how different things can be.

- trebbble 4y agoI don't listen to mine—I read them. Built-in feature on my phone, these days. iPhone, but I'd be surprised if Android doesn't have it, too. Quick glance is enough to tell if any of the recent ones were anything other than junk.

- ghaff 4y agoFor a lot of people, not being reachable by voice is not really an option in the case of emergencies, medical offices, business, etc. I do more texting than leaving voice messages but, for example, my dad essentially will not text or email.
- matsemann 4y agoI guess it's more that no one here ever leaves a message. A medical office for instance would never call to give out that info over phone, instead I would get an email or sms telling me to log in securely to their portal to see test results etc there.
- ghaff 4y agoIt's not so much test results. But, for example, just this morning my dentist's office told me that a slot for an appointment I had been waiting for opened up this afternoon. More has switched to texts and portals but there's still a fair bit of calling in my experience in the US.
- jader201 4y agoVM is becoming more of a necessity these days due to robocalls. I have any numbers that aren’t on my contacts go straight to VM, and that’s how I get in touch with non-contacts that I really want calling me. In my experience, the signal:noise of unknown calls is about 1:20. VMs, on the other hand, are much higher — about 1:2.
