Another alternative is setting up a call forwarding service. It can get you those important messages without needing traditional voicemail.

That’s smart! I hadn’t thought of that. Any recommendations for services?

Disabling voicemail might help some, but for others, like parents or caregivers, it can be essential. Context matters!
Totally agree! Everyone has different needs when it comes to managing calls and messages. It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution.
For me, humor helps. I always tell people they can text me instead of leaving a voicemail. It’s like, who actually enjoys listening to those?!
Right?! They can be so awkward! It’s like, ‘Hey, can you repeat that?’ Sometimes it’s just easier to text.
If you’re considering disabling voicemail, make sure you’re okay with possibly missing urgent calls. It’s a personal choice.
That’s true! I think people just need to find what works best for their lifestyle.
Anyone tried disabling voicemail for a week? What was your experience?
I did that! It was freeing at first, but I missed a few calls from potential employers. Lesson learned!
