If it's important they will leave a voicemail.

Perpetually silenced.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Could be really urgent. Happens sometimes.

Yes that's a great way to relay really urgent stuff that needs reply right away. lol

Whenever it's my immediate family or partner I'm paranoid that they're dying or something, so probably can't send a text

[–] LeafOnTheWind@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They can leave a voicemail

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago

And who knowns when that is being listened to

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They can leave a message about how urgent it is.

I just allowed my voicemail to fill up and kept terminating the app for that and now no one can leave me a voicemail.

Everyone who ever left me a voicemail would tell me what the problem was in that then when I called them back, they told me everything they already said in the voicemail.

Well why leave a voicemail at all if you're just going to tell me all of that all over again?

Because they expect you to listen to the voicemail and then call back at your convenience. If you hate it, get a visual voicemail app to transcribe them for you.

That way, you'll at least be able to side-eye it and consider helping when your mother calls because she has fallen in the tub.

If you hate it, get a visual voicemail app to transcribe them for you.

visual voicemail uses cellular data and won't go through wifi. At least not on any smartphone I've ever had not that I know of anyway.

And most people I know who still leave voicemails don't speak clearly enough to be understood by that speech to text system so it comes up as a bunch of nonsense 99% of the time.

[–] spikespaz@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

That's not my experience, I love the feature.

[–] jojo@toast.ooo 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I just put my phone into airplane mode when I don't want to pick up. I think it's better than just declining or waiting for the call to time out.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

I never want to pick up, though.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Or just turn it off for a bit

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

Google 6 phone lets me screen the call.

[–] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is that the guy from Aqua?

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Nice. Just in case you weren't joking: it's from the movie The Mummy.

[–] elephantium@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

The 1999 cinematic masterpiece starring Rachel Weisz and Brendan Fraser? Great flick.

[–] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I was joking but I appreciate your effort to help out and include people.

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I tried finding an image where René isn't smiling. It's hard.

Edit: smiling.

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago

Btw, how do I embed images? Do I have to download the image first?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 11 months ago

I can now just tell an AI to handle the call for me. It's probably another AI anyway. It's like letting your dog off leash at the dog park.

Just use airplane mode to hang up.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Everyone in my family has voicemail message that says "Sorry I missed your call, I don't check voicemail, please text."

I hate phone calls. Never answered the phone before the rise of cell phones, avoided getting a cell phone until they were wee computers, because the last thing I want is to be perpetually available by phone, still don't answer the phone.

I think it's Imhotep from the Brendan Frasier The Mummy movie.

And he is extremely memeable.

I don't know if you were waiting for a serious answer, but here you go.

Chakotay on Star Trek Voyager was played by Robert Beltran. Imhotep in The Mummy was played by Arnold Vosloo.

Put your phone on airplane mode. The call will end immediately and the caller will see "call failed"
