iPhone users should stop paying for visual voicemail with the big telcos Rogers, Telus, and Bell, as the free Live Voicemail feature from iOS 17 can save you money every month. This is a public service announcement to review your monthly cellphone bill and to leverage Apple’s free and better voicemail service that debuted in the fall.

Google Pixel phones have a screen call function that seems the same as this.

I don't know if it's technical limitations (it's probably just greed), but I can't imagine that this stays exclusive to Pixels for much longer.

The problem with screen call is that it's really limited in Canada vs the US. You can't set it up to screen automatically, so you still have to physically pick up the phone and watch the transcript in real time.

Exactly. The features are not equivalent.

I just want to say that the screen call function is so good that I don't think I'll buy another phone without that feature if at all possible. Also creating the automatic menu for calling some customer service numbers is fantastic too.
