Mine emails me an attachment with the recording. It's a lot easier than the old call up voicemail to listen to your messages etc. Lot of people prefer it to writing with their phones.

That's actually really smart lol
Need to teach her how to turn off voicemail redirection.
I don’t like voicemail typically, but I have some voicemails from family members who have passed away and I cherish listening to them.
If I were you, I would save a copy of them somewhere safe. I wouldn't trust a phone company or my phone to hold on to voicemails forever.
i have mine turned off from the cell provider. best thing i did.
Back in the day, I realized there wasn't really a voice-mail message length limit, so I had a 20 minute rant about why I don't want voicemails
Voice mail still has uses. There are times you need to be able to receive calls from businesses or government entities. Often those entities don't have call centers set up to let their workes send texts. Sometimes the only way you can hear news you need to hear is via a phone call.
Which is kinda funny because they could save money by automating texting for some of the shit they have people call for.
Though on the other hand, if it's a legitimate business, you can stop the call spam easier, at least in places with enforced do not call lists.

I worked for nearly a decade as product support for various voice mail applications, so I feel very strongly about this.
Fuck voice mail.
Until someone sends you a voice to text message. Like fuck that.
And then people wonder why nobody has friends and prefer talking to an AI
My little sister's voicemail says something along the lines of , "Hi, I'm either sleeping or playing video games. Leave a message and maybe I'll call back"
Voicemail would be fine if you could click on the voice message in a table and so it could skip the time and number

I prefer voice mail, If it's important enough send it, if you're not a contact and there's no caller ID I'm not picking up, I'm not screening your call I don't want you to know I saw the call.
If you're a contact and I miss you send a text
Damn I'm so curious about the venn diagram overlap between pet who hate calls and people who love video "news" like tiktok. I bet it's near a circle.
