>They have been hearing from ringless voice mail providers and pro-business groups, which argue that these messages should not qualify as calls and, therefore, should be exempt from consumer protection laws that ban similar types of telephone marketing. There's no limit to how low pro-business thinking can go.
Anyone else in a situation where you're receiving robocalls ten times a day? Hard to believe, but I can show screenshots as proof. I just counted. It's four times per day, like clockwork. Then there are various other robocalls that come in every couple days. So sometimes it's 4 per day, sometimes it's up to 7. It's mildly annoying, but is there any other option than to just ignore it or keep blocking the endless new…
Also - certain area codes are hotter than others. While I have Cali number, I know many folks living in Alaska and never got robocalled.
How does this even work? How can you not ring the phone and have a voicemail?
> The Republican National Committee, which is in favor of ringless voice mail, goes as far as to argue that prohibiting direct-to-voice-mail messages may be a violation of free speech. Absurd. The right to free speech does not include forcing others to listen to you.

The right to free speech does not include forcing others to listen to "it".
Also the mouse over text applies very well to this situation as well.

Sweden. A text message is faster and infinitely more accessible for the recipient.
Heck, a voice message over the chat client of their choice is faster, infinitely more accessible, and still voice.

They are not forcing you to listen to anything. You can a) delete the message or b) change voicemail systems so this does not work. These problems can be mitigated from a technical perspective.
