This is what happens when you fail to reign in scam calls in any way for a decade plus.

Believe it or not, this is a perfect time to leave a voice mail. The not answering spam calls I am normalized with, but the refusal to use voice mail for important calls is inexcusable.

There's people out there who haven't disabled their voice mail? Wild...

[-] QualifiedKitten@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I tried many years ago and couldn't figure it out. I've been hoping it will eventually fill up one day so people just can't leave messages anymore, but as I type that out, I realize that's probably highly unlikely to ever happen.

I don't have a voicemail set up specifically because I don't want to dial in to check it. If you're a real person just text me to get my attention.

Dialing into your voicemail isn't as common anymore. I think my carrier still allows me to do that, but mostly it's all handled on my phone nowadays

I would not listen to it. Just send a text

My voicemail box is full because I don’t have the heart to clear it, I have a bunch of old messages from my father who passed

[-] LemmyFeed@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

You should try to get those saved somewhere else, they won't last forever in voicemail and you could lose them.

I wish I had saved some of my father's messages 😔

[-] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

It’s been like 13 years so either they are there or they’re gone. I can’t bring myself to listen to them, it’s too sad

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 4 days ago

Dunno about other countries, but in Brazil you have to pay to listen to your voicemail

[-] jdnewmil@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Never had that in the US AFAIK, but we used to have to pay by the SMS text.
