Then the person sends you a 2 minute long audio over whatsapp

See, for me, if you call me and don't leave a voicemail, I'm going to assume it was unimportant (or spam) and I won't call back. Businesses, which are most likely going to an unknown number, should leave a voicemail if they want any action on my part. I mostly don't want businesses texting me because they tend to spam the fuck out of you. And I'm sure as fuck never going to pick up the phone for an unknown number.

My kid can make 100 push ups, when Nobody's watching.

When I had a work mobile phone in Australia I had my voicemail saying I was on leave and to call the office.

The boss wasn't happy, but the customers actually called the service desk because of it.

The True Crime here is an 11 year old child with a (I suppose) Smartphone.

This is perfect. At least boomers have an excuse. Millennials using voice notes is unforgivable.

Mine is "You have reached my phone but not me, I don't really check voicemail, if you need to reach me, text." I still get voicemail.

Some voicemail the phone will transcribe, those I read but really don't listen to them.

Since about 2006 my voicemail message has been "for a faster response send me a text message." When I started my business I added my business name and rerecorded the rest. If a client can't send a text instead of call then I'm going to charge them more.

That's actually really smart lol

The absolute worst thing about voicemail is that you can't just listen to the one you just got. I have about 50 unheard voicemails at this point. You leave one? I have to work my way through 50 just to hear yours. And it doesn't even let me work from most recent. Nope. Just never going to happen.

here in chile we dont longer use voicemail, cant remember when was the last time i heard one... That said, a lot of people send whatsapp audios, i understand its easier for some folks, but, common!

I'm an old guy, but I hate voice mail. Mine says "You can try to leave a message, but it's probably full, and I'll never listen to it anyway, so either send a text to this number, or send an email to XXX, and I'll get back to you ASAP."

Voicemail is actually really nice, if people call you and don't leave a message, the call was not important or a spam call. Its like the perfect filter.

at least in germany you can just disable voicemail

Visual voicemail (voicemail transcribed to text) has been a godsend for me. The number of doctors offices that call with an unlisted number is staggering.

Mine emails me an attachment with the recording. It's a lot easier than the old call up voicemail to listen to your messages etc. Lot of people prefer it to writing with their phones.

i think I have my voicemail as the disconnected phone sound to stave off robocallers. anybody who wanted to call me texted me immediately after to confirm.

Back in the day, I realized there wasn't really a voice-mail message length limit, so I had a 20 minute rant about why I don't want voicemails
