I hate voice mail and haven't used it for years. And I'm Gen X. My voice mail is disabled. I'm very easy to find on the internet if you spend 10 seconds looking. If I miss a call, I'll look up the caller before I return the call. In Norway where I live, almost everyone's phone number is in the directory so it's really easy to find out where a call is coming from. If it's blocked, I won't call back - they'll call again if it's important.

I also don't leave voice messages, figuring most folks think like me.
