    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

          Your phone will show the phone number of the person who left the voicemail. Please think.

          Not every number is private or unknown. Please think.

            Don’t be mad. It’s literally someone else’s phone habits, lol. What a silly thing to get upset about.

            I didn’t say every number is private - I said spammers leave voicemails from private numbers so you won’t know who they are. It makes sense, right? “Sirius XM left a voicemail” is obviously spam, but “Unknown number left a voicemail” could be somebody important. Critical thinking, friendo :) Good luck!

                You’re insulting people and calling THEM trolls? Truly the height of hypocrisy. I don’t have any more time to waste on you, so I’ll block you without reading your next response. Have the day you deserve.

      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.
