    Voicemail should be lower on that list, I’d rather take a call than check voicemail any day.

      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.

        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.
