Google Voice has solved my problems entirely. I can't stand voicemails. Now I get them transcribed to text automatically and then delete them.

You know what I found out?

100% of them are completely useless crap. Telemarketers, butt dials, drunks calling the wrong number, fake bill collector scams.

If I'm ever getting an important call, I'm going to either know who's calling, or they're going to get a hold of me in other ways. It's not a useful technology anymore.
