    robocall speaking mandarin has all the time in the world. Turn voicemail off, no human has ever used it.

      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

        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.

          This last month I’ve gotten quite a bit of use out of voicemails, between apartment hunting and some big purchases for my workplace

              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.

              So, I leave my voicemail on. Because I know that damn near every time I get a voicemail, I know why I got it. I know that person/company and they’re calling me because I asked them to
