Voicemail should be banned

What? How do you set that up?
It's carrier specific. Mine doesn't do that either. iPhones seem to be the only ones that force it. Otherwise I get to sit through the same dial-in voicemail service as ever.

You need to setup your phone to answer and then hang up automatically on the callers. On my Pixel I only get VMs from spam callers if I didn't have any signal at the time.
That would tell them the line and number is valid. Not interested in perpetuating their tripe.

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.
I, for one, hate both equally. I want to READ my news, and I don't even care if it comes with static images.

So does having a voicemail? How is that any different.

Voice notes on WhatsApp/iMessage is essentially the exact same thing as voicemail but for some reason zoomers are happier with those.
Navigating the voicemail menu is really annoying

You can't hear anything, the phone answers and then immediately hangs up and disconnects the call.

Yep. I also keep do not disturb active for that exact reason. If I have the phone in my hand when it lights up a caller and I recognize the number I answer it. Everyone else gets the block

Darn, I thought that was the case but I was kinda hoping that I could get around it.

The feature is called "Visual Voicemail". Your carrier may support it, but if it's like mine they likely charge extra. iOS works around it by just answering the call and saving a recorded message.
