My philosophy is if they don’t leave a voicemail it must not have been important. I’m not calling anyone back whose number isn’t in my phone that didn’t leave a voicemail. Silence Unknown Callers stays on; only time it’s an issue is when I try to get a call back from support or something, I gotta remember to turn that off temporarily.
Voicemails used to be very common some decades ago. I think nowadays pretty much everyone just sends a message after the call if they need to leave a message
TIL I’m not human. I wonder what path life has taken you that you’ve never been thankful for a voicemail. Granted, I’m annoyed by them more often, but I’ve definitely had a few good voicemails
This has always been a strange thing for me. All of my peers starting getting spam calls around middle/high school, but I never did. To this day, I hardly get any spam calls. And when I say hardly, I mean like… I genuinely think the total number of spam calls I’ve gotten since turning 18 is less than 50 at most.

last time I got a voicemail that was worth anything your computer speakers would announce it
Out of curiosity, do you get many spam calls?
not since turning on do not disturb with an exception for contacts.

I’ve never used voicemail. It’s mostly an American thing that I’m too European to comprehend.
I don’t use it often, I will admit. But as a night shift worker, it has definitely saved me a lot of struggle.
