[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1830389, member: 204485"] I have an easy solution, [B]no voicemai[/B]l. Honestly, most of my voicemail messages required reply or were from people I did not want to reply to anyway. If I miss a call, I can see it in my Missed Calls. If its from someone not in my contacts I use a text shortcut to send them an SMS saying, "Sorry I missed your call please try again." Often they don't. In some instances the SMS will not go through. In those cases I usually block the number. As for the others, the ones in my contacts, I either call them back at my convenience or send them the above SMS. I think Voicemail is just a revenue raising ploy by my carrier. Who likes being diverted to Voicemail? Nobody. Who likes wasting time listening to telemarketers or people who can't deliver a concise, meaningful message in the time limit requiring you to call them for clarification. Nobody. But carriers get three call fees which would in the old days have been one. eg. Rang Fred, no answer, I'll try again later, got through later. One call fee. [/QUOTE]
