Comment on How did a simple phone call become so problematic?

Not once have I had a usable voice mail UI. Forced to go through 10 seconds of menu between each message to delete and select the next one, and 90% of them are people just hanging up after realizing they hit voice mail. Then the few times I do get an important message, I have to replay the full message multiple times to transcribe the number I need to call. No seeking, no ending the playback after I’ve passed the bit I needed, often terrible audio. Why do you do this when you have my email?

My iPhone just has a list of them where you can tap one and see a transcription I can quickly read to confirms it’s spam, does your phone not?

  Maybe the speech recognition has improved since I last gave automatic transcription a shot, but in my experience it was almost always laughably bad.

  You get a play/pause and even the ability to seek. Lucky you.

I have to use 3CX for work and it’s the least bad voicemail I’ve had any experience with. Literally emails me the .wav so I can listen with VLC.

Sometimes I play techno and pretend I’m getting missions in armored core. Almost doesn’t suck.

I just ring people back and ask what they wanted.

After a while they get the hint and stop leaving voicemails.
