    Why didn’t they text?

    I love that my voice mails get auto transcribed!

    But now there’s the people who send you voice messages instead of texting. It’s not quite voicemail. But you still have to listen to it

      God I had that briefly once like 20 years ago, it was awesome. Then never since. 😞

      Voice messages serve a perfectly legitimate purpose when you have a REALLY long explanation, or maybe you’re multitasking and just don’t have the time to write it out.

      You can use voice to text but often they’re really terrible.

      If it’s someone I know, voice messages are okay (WhatsApp or what have you); if it’s a company, email or through their application is what I expect.
