My voicemail light has been on for approximately a week and I still haven't checked it because I can see my missed call log and I know who left the voicemail and I know it's nothing I'm interested in hearing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-call-no-voicemail/page/2#post-2200119 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 09:51:16 +0000 Boogs 2200119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: See for businesses I feel like a voicemail (if the caller leaves a good, detailed message) can be helpful. They can get all their info in order before returning the call, thus making the return call shorter in the end because you already know what the person needed.</p> <p>I only return the call if I know who it is. Otherwise I assume it was a wrong number or a spammy call. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-call-no-voicemail/page/2#post-2200117 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 09:49:12 +0000 tinyperson 2200117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Not if you're calling someone in a different city! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-call-no-voicemail/page/2#post-2200116 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 09:47:30 +0000 travellingbee 2200116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always. If it wasn't important, they wouldn't have called. No one just calls me to chat like I'm in high school. So if they called, it's for a reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-call-no-voicemail/page/2#post-2200111 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 09:40:06 +0000 looch 2200111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: but what if someone is on another call? I can't always switch over if I am currently on the other line and someone else keeps calling and calling.</p> <p>I hate voicemail personally, lol, but for work, it's a necessary evil it seems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-call-no-voicemail/page/2#post-2199983 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 08:03:09 +0000 Mamaof2 2199983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: well cant they just walk down to their office? :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-call-no-voicemail/page/2#post-2199981 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 08:01:10 +0000 Truth Bombs 2199981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: sounds like most of the people who are losing voicemail at JPM aren't client facing so they mostly just call internally to other employees meaning they are trying to reach someone specific. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-call-no-voicemail/page/2#post-2199975 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 07:57:23 +0000 Mamaof2 2199975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: I would never leave a vmail at a business anyway - I would keep calling until someone answered </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-call-no-voicemail/page/2#post-2199956 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 07:45:17 +0000 Truth Bombs 2199956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thought this was timely...

I hate listening to VM for the pointless, "call me back" message so I usually jus call the person back. Most people I know that I talk to on the phone regularly know that and don't bother with the VM.<br /> What drives me crazy and I always ignore is the text to call without the person even trying to call me in the first place. There is just one person that does that and I hate it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-call-no-voicemail#post-2198551 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 08:10:26 +0000 lamariniere 2198551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never call back.

Although even they (and certainly everyone else) text me if I don't pick up. And I do the same to them - because if I'm somewhere I can't talk on the phone/check a voicemail, I can probably read or send a quick text. </p> <p> If it's an unknown number I wouldn't call back. Most numbers not in my phone would be like a doctor's office, CVS, something like that, and those places always leave a message.</p> <p>Work phone is a different story. I just roll my eyes when I talk to a client who says "I tried to call you 5 times and you never called me back!" Well, did you leave me a voicemail? No? Well, that's why. I mean, really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-call-no-voicemail#post-2197828 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 11:52:01 +0000 Mae 2197828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. People know how voicemail and texting work. If they choose not to leave a voicemail or text I assume it was a fleeting question and they don't need a callback. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-call-no-voicemail#post-2197802 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 11:29:20 +0000 ineebee 2197802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would, since it's someone I know, especially since it's unusual that she called. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-call-no-voicemail#post-2197747 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 10:39:37 +0000 kiddosc 2197747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea, I almost never leave voicemails and hate when someone leaves one for me just to say "call me back." Ugh, I had to call a number, type in my code, and delete the message just for "call me back?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-call-no-voicemail#post-2197743 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 10:32:18 +0000 Keybee 2197743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually!

I thought of that too, and I agree with you, hence my answer is that I would use voicemail as an excuse only if I did not really want to talk to the person and they called me out on not calling them back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-call-no-voicemail#post-2197738 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 10:25:08 +0000 mrscobee 2197738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, if I know the person, because no one uses VM these days. However, if it is someone I do NOT want to talk to (SIL or MIL could sometimes fit into this category), then I won't, and if they say something I'll just say "Oh, whoops, you didn't leave a voicemail, I figured you'd call back!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-call-no-voicemail#post-2197736 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 10:23:21 +0000 Truth Bombs 2197736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's funny that so many people on this thread are saying they assume someone will leave a vm if it's important, when on this old thread the consensus seemed to be that most people really dislike voicemail:</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-your-voicemails/page/2" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-your-voicemails/page/2</a></p> <p>Mr Bee even posted an article showing that vm use is declining rapidly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-call-no-voicemail#post-2197735 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 10:23:16 +0000 Mamaof2 2197735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BlueWolverine: haha - YES!! Again, something my DH does.</p> <p>Did you call?</p> <p>Yes, did you listen to my vmail?</p> <p>No</p> <p>Oh well hang up and listen it to!!</p> <p>grrrr :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-call-no-voicemail#post-2197725 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 10:16:57 +0000 BlueWolverine 2197725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. If it's important, they can leave a VM or send a text. I hate when people assume I'll call them back just because they called. Not going to. Also hate it when people call me be back before listening to a VM I just left. You didn't need to waste my time or yours if you'd just listen to the damn VM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-call-no-voicemail#post-2197724 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 10:16:38 +0000 Mommy Finger 2197724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if it's DH.

Someone else I know? I will text them to see. This happened recently-a friend called but I missed the call. She never calls me- her partner always does so I figured it was a butt dial. A little while later my other friend (the partner) texts me the question. I told her just to leave a message next time lol. </p>
