I just allowed my voicemail to fill up and kept terminating the app for that and now no one can leave me a voicemail.

Everyone who ever left me a voicemail would tell me what the problem was in that then when I called them back, they told me everything they already said in the voicemail.

Well why leave a voicemail at all if you're just going to tell me all of that all over again?

Because they expect you to listen to the voicemail and then call back at your convenience. If you hate it, get a visual voicemail app to transcribe them for you.

That way, you'll at least be able to side-eye it and consider helping when your mother calls because she has fallen in the tub.

visual voicemail uses cellular data and won't go through wifi. At least not on any smartphone I've ever had not that I know of anyway.

And most people I know who still leave voicemails don't speak clearly enough to be understood by that speech to text system so it comes up as a bunch of nonsense 99% of the time.

That's not my experience, I love the feature.
