no, I call my doctors or other services to verify dates.. voicemail is abused by spammers so I never listen to them

Spammers never ever leave voicemails, that's how I know a call was spam. If someone actually needs me, either I have their numbers already or they leave a voicemail

I always get "An unresolved issue in our office requires your immediate attention, please call XYZ" with no other identifying information. I've learned to clear my inbox without listening to anything because if we had an existing relationship they'd say so.

...did you think I was lying or something? why would you say "spammers never ever leave voicemails" if I just said they do, lol

You're aware that you can see the phone number of the caller, right?

[–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

See the number? Hell, I've had transcription since at least 2010.

That's me. I've been typing out all your messages and you don't even seem to appreciate it! My fingers hurt...

[–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

Why thank you!

I get tons of spam calls and basically zero spam voicemail 🤷‍♂️

Plus with most carriers being able to transcribe voicemails I don't even need to listen to them.
