Since when is voicemail dead? It’s vital for when I miss a call from a healthcare provider, pharmacy, contractor, service provider … do y’all just sit in a sealed box all day?
I sit in a box and I smear shit on the walls
I send all unknown calls to voice mail. I’ve had my carrier disable voice mail for my phone line.
My providers all use email or are ‘known’ by my phone. … I hope.So when the new specialty pharmacy phones you for details on where to send your prescription, you’re just gonna … not?
I would wonder why they are not emailing or texting me like they should. I can’t think of anything more rude than calling someone.
And I’m old
If I find myself in a situation like that, I have temporarily turned off automatically sending unknown numbers to voicemail. But about 99% of my existence is sending unknowns into the ether.
And what if you find yourself in a situation where you don’t know to expect a call?
Generally I shrug off that scenario. If I need something or want something, I’m available. But if I don’t, then it’s okay to give myself permission to be unavailable.
But also, my phone number isn’t from where I currently live. Numbers that call do show up in my call logs, even if they get sent to a nonexistent voice mail. A number from my current area code may get a call back after I look up their number. But I don’t bother to look up numbers that aren’t from where I’m currently at, or numbers that call me repeatedly. Spammers use computers that automatically retry their calls, so an unreasonable number of calls immediately after one another are a dead giveaway.
Your attention is a valuable commodity. No one is entitled to it. I take a lot of steps to ensure my attention is protected from misuse - including asking a business to give me their number so I can call them first, so they’ll be ‘known’ to my phone before they try to call me.

Yeah I love voicemail. It’s an easy way to tell if I need to return a call or it was a scam
If you’re a usual person, then “boo-hoo, people are so scared to be blocked by you”.
If you’re a moderator or something, you’re evil and unfit the position.
Was gonna say I use voicemail almost everyday. For the simple reason I’m not always close to phone and don’t pickup on unknown numbers
Here you have to pay to listen to them I think since the beginning, so voicemail was something very few people used and most of the time your grandma would leave one by accident.
I do love the oatmeal, but everything he does now is just for money. He’s probably just got a team of writers at this point.
That drawing style remind me of the card game with the explosives and the kittens.

I want to sit down with the person who brought voice notes to Hinge, and ask them why the fuck they thought dating by voicemail was a good idea.
