In the example from last night that I posted about, I left a very important voicemail about someone's health just before I walked into a hospital where I knew my phone wouldn't work very well. I know that the recipient of my voicemail appreciated my effort in communicating the situation. He would not have known the urgency of the situation had we gone into the phone tag dance. I completely understand that voicemail can be annoying. I often prefer other means as well. I'm just surprised so many would refuse to use it at all.
