Where is the study that reveals how many people you alienate by not utilizing voicemail?

As for myself, if I call you and you don’t answer, I’m more likely to leave you a voice message. I won’t hang up and text you back if I’ve already spent the dime for that first minute anyway.

Right on, Brandon. Excellent point. So true.

I think there is a big difference between work voicemail and cell phone voicemail. Most times there is a voicemail on my cell, I already know the message, since I know/am expecting the person calling me.

Work voicemail = great way to collect messages from people you don't know.
Cell voicemail = waste of time.

Do you know how many times I have left a voice mail only to have the person call me back 2 mins later having seen my 'missed call' and not listening to the message?

I stopped leaving voice messages because my friends would call me back and ask what I wanted. I asked them if they listened to their email and they said "No, I just saw that you called."

haha… I'm more apt to check that voicemail because I don't like having message indicators on my home screen! But I generally answer…

And if they call your cell and you're unavailable… don't they leave you a voicemail? Or does your greeting on your cell tell them not to bother?
