I’m not a millennial, but I also dislike voicemail. I grow impatient waiting for the 1990s-era message that tells me to “leave a call back number,” whatever that is. I don’t mind receiving a short, brief message, but all too often I have to sit and listen through two minutes of blab. And no one listens to my recorded message. Ugh.
End of Rant.
Apparently the millennial generation is also fed up with voicemail. They don’t leave it, preferring text messages instead. Quite a few of them also don’t listen to their messages. I learned this from my kids as well: I don’t leave them messages any more.
Is there a better solution for voicemail, or has its time come and gone?
