The vast majority of voicemails that I get from unknown numbers are a prerecorded pitch about improving SCO. Too bad I registered some websites before there were privacy options to prevent personal info from appearing in a whois lookup.
Even better: let me set a list of keywords that flag or delete messages if they appear in the transcription. Sigh.
Why not just turn off voice mail?
I get legitimate calls (very few) about things like building maintenance trying to schedule when my apt needs service, the finance company wanting paperwork when I paid off my car, etc. At some point, there will be a call from a hospital about a family member. I can’t risk not receiving any of the legit calls among all the spam.
These people will call again if you don’t have voicemail and you didn’t answer.
I don’t answer unknown numbers. Letting them keep calling without vm transcripts to screen them does me no good. Also, I want to know about a family member in the hospital right away.
Most likely the other messages that are not spam.
In this day and age people should be texting me if they want my attention
