I highly suggest you do the same. The only person who've noticed so far is my mother.
My voice mail message at work for the last few years has suggested that people contact me through email and that I tend to ignore my voicemail blinking light for weeks at a time. As a bonus (for me), I don't include my email address in the message so the only people who typically leave me messages are vendors cold-calling me.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> Also, am I the only one that is mildly disappointed that Coke's headquarters isn't shaped like a huge Coke can? This is absolutely ridiculous. Do you expect Subway's headquarters to be shaped like a cold-cut sandwich? In all seriousness, The Coca-Cola Company produces and distributes only their syrup concentrate to franchisees, whom bottle it for sale. Yes they have a subsidiary which oversees North American produc…
But they have a trademark on the bottle design.
Is voice mail recording device at home still popular in US? Often seen in US movies but such device has never caught on in Singapore/Malaysia.
Only voicemails most people get are corporations calling for whatever reason.
Land lines have gone away in the younger demographics, unless you have children and need a home phone line for emergency reasons.

I get very few voicemails, but I don't see a point in disabling this feature entirely, in on personal line.
The first thing I do when I sit down at a new job is disconnect my landline or VoIP phone and put it in a drawer. HipChat, Skype chat, Email, text, or FB message, please. Voice is dead to me. I'm looking forward to the day when you can buy a SIM card from a cell carrier which offers only data and text, no voice call support.

I do not want people having that many ways to contact (interrupt) me.
I have had a soft phone at my last two jobs, and it was never used. We used Skype or Slack for our text communication, and Google Hangouts for more personal communication. And it worked perfectly well for maintaining a good flow of communication. Voice mail is, like texting, an asynchronous method of communication, but it requires more hardware and mental context switching to receive and respond to voice messages. I…
voice mail is asynchronous for the person sending it, but it's somewhat synchronous when you're on the receiving end: you cannot skip through the boring parts right to the interesting content, you have to linearly listen to the entire message. I think this is the biggest problem with voicemail. If all voicemail could turn speech into text, and it would end up in your e-mail inbox or "voice mail" app on your phone, we…
I am imagining an AI layer which can skip over parts of video//voice messages for you, giving you the content you want.
