Voicemail should be banned

It's AI, I'd be willing to bet. Waiting to detect a human before responding with whatever scam they're selling.
that doesn't really require AI lol

Playing back a message when you hear someone pick up? No, they've been doing that forever. But trying to determine whether you have a human on the line or just their voicemail recording? That's something that could start to require more sophisticated language models, and the fact that the message didn't just start rattling something off as soon as something picked up suggests maybe they're using it. Actual phone scams using AI? Well, if they're not doing it yet, they will be soon.

I love that meme! I can see this one being real though
ya if the child is old enough to know what a phone call is, they are old enough to understand how pointless voicemails are

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

Until someone sends you a voice to text message. Like fuck that.

Fizz had a visual voicemail app that lets you do that.

I'm an old guy, but I hate voice mail. Mine says "You can try to leave a message, but it's probably full, and I'll never listen to it anyway, so either send a text to this number, or send an email to XXX, and I'll get back to you ASAP."

The absolute worst thing about voicemail is that you can't just listen to the one you just got. I have about 50 unheard voicemails at this point. You leave one? I have to work my way through 50 just to hear yours. And it doesn't even let me work from most recent. Nope. Just never going to happen.

I don’t like voicemail typically, but I have some voicemails from family members who have passed away and I cherish listening to them.

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.

Por que no los dos? I'm just saying. In a professional setting, when they don't respond to text or email, you can follow up with a text that says, "I left your dumbass a voice mail if you don't feel like reading."

This is the way.
Though, I have found that the default message of "pinball_wizard has not configured their voicemail" conveys the same message pretty effectively, too.

Yeah, until she applies for a job and the recruiter tried to call her to offer an interview.
For me the most annoying part of voicemail is navigating through the menu. But I'm also not scared of taking to people on the phone so perhaps my opinion doesn't count here.
Good luck to her when she wants to start being taken seriously.

I used to troll with mine and spell out my name, phone number, email address, website, all twice.
Most voice-mails I got were like "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WHY IS YOUR MESSAGE SO LONG"

I used to use an app called Hullomail which brought them into an app as voice clips you can see the caller and play or export.
It also showed you missed calls while your phone was off since they can just flag when a call was redirected to them. Super useful.
IIRC they got acquired and removed the free tier but you might still find them useful.

But one could set up an Archer style voicemail prank!

, then you you will be required to use voicemailI work with engineers in an industry where not having a written exchange of info to refer to and/or CYA is unthinkable. I got my latest company phone 17 months ago and have not set up the voicemail yet.
Only production matters, so why use something slow, inefficient, that also does not provide an automatic written record to cover your ass.
If you call me with a request to do work or give me important information, I will tell you to text or email that to me.

Voicemail is actually really nice, if people call you and don't leave a message, the call was not important or a spam call. Its like the perfect filter.
Yeah but I get like 5 spam calls a week from "Nicole with loan processing" or "Joshua Martinez from the loan issuance department" and they always leave a voicemail that I have to delete because I tried to get a personal loan 4 months ago.
