When I had a work mobile phone in Australia I had my voicemail saying I was on leave and to call the office.
The boss wasn't happy, but the customers actually called the service desk because of it.

i think I have my voicemail as the disconnected phone sound to stave off robocallers. anybody who wanted to call me texted me immediately after to confirm.

I worked for nearly a decade as product support for various voice mail applications, so I feel very strongly about this.
Fuck voice mail.

See, for me, if you call me and don't leave a voicemail, I'm going to assume it was unimportant (or spam) and I won't call back. Businesses, which are most likely going to an unknown number, should leave a voicemail if they want any action on my part. I mostly don't want businesses texting me because they tend to spam the fuck out of you. And I'm sure as fuck never going to pick up the phone for an unknown 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

Recently, I've been getting calls I'm pretty sure are spam. They are all from different numbers, but all of the area codes are from where I got my phone number, which is quite far from where I live now. Additionally, they all do leave voicemails, but each and every one is exactly thirty seconds of silence.
Spam or not, I can't figure out the point.

They spoof a number close to your number to increase the chance you pickup, they don't know you moved.
I'd bet the silence calls are to determine if a phone number is active.

Probably a bot waiting for a voice in order to start. It waits until it hangs up.

I definitely know about the spoofing - that's what made me figure it was spam initially.
The waiting for a voice response makes sense, but I've never encountered a system that didn't at least say some form of "hello." Not this persistent of one, anyway.
Thanks!

I disabled my voicemail. Problem solved.

It's AI, I'd be willing to bet. Waiting to detect a human before responding with whatever scam they're selling.

I've never had it enabled

Had this problem too (phone number is from NM but I'm in MA now) so I just started messing with them. I'd answer "Federal Bureau of Investigation, Albuquerque district office, how may I direct your call?" Click. After about a week of doing this I haven't gotten a single spam call, this was like 2 years ago. Who cares it it's "impersonating a federal agency" or whatever, they're scammers overseas, fuck em.

Sometimes it’s fun, when you know it’s spam, to answer it while it’s ringing (which may let the operator know ‘hey, they answered, start talking’) and quickly hit Speaker and Mute and enjoy 5-10 sec of them being confused when they hear silence back.

That makes sense, and I appreciate the information.
You'd think they would have marked me as inactive by now - they've been calling every day or two, including weekends, for more than a month. I haven't answered once! The persistence is the only thing that made me question whether it was spam.

Visual voicemail (voicemail transcribed to text) has been a godsend for me. The number of doctors offices that call with an unlisted number is staggering.
