    Since when is voicemail dead? It’s vital for when I miss a call from a healthcare provider, pharmacy, contractor, service provider … do y’all just sit in a sealed box all day?

      I send all unknown calls to voice mail. I’ve had my carrier disable voice mail for my phone line.
      My providers all use email or are ‘known’ by my phone. … I hope.

        So when the new specialty pharmacy phones you for details on where to send your prescription, you’re just gonna … not?

          My pharmacies have always sent me a text notification that my prescription is ready for pick up. The only people calling my phone are scammers

            I’m happy for you that you’ve never had to deal with length prior authorizations, specialty pharmacies, need for clarifications, notifications of delay …

            I remember being on the phone with my pharmacist a few hours before my wedding - he called so something could get sorted out ASAP. Fortunately that one didn’t have to go to voicemail.

      no, I call my doctors or other services to verify dates… voicemail is abused by spammers so I never listen to them

        I get tons of spam calls and basically zero spam voicemail 🤷‍♂️

        Plus with most carriers being able to transcribe voicemails I don’t even need to listen to them.

        You’re aware that you can see the phone number of the caller, right?

            Your phone will show the phone number of the person who left the voicemail. Please think.

            Not every number is private or unknown. Please think.
