blue-collar, unemployed (NEET, even), my oldest kids, PhDs i've known personally for decades, white collar workers - an incomplete list of everyone i called in 2024 with a full voicemailbox.

i try to tell people about the "two calls in a minute lets it go thru" feature because as of yet the autodialers don't know about it or have it implemented.

They're probably not also people who don't answer their phone, preferring either to have a voice message or nothing (because it isn't important) then.

I do the same as commenter up-thread, my voicemail inbox is empty. Sometimes I let a call ring out and then listen to the message immediately, I just don't want to have to deal with it synchronously. Then if it's 'I have a number of opportunities that seem like a great fit for you' I can just delete it and move on with my day, not have to try to say no-bye politely before hanging up, for example.

Someone with a full inbox is more likely someone who does the opposite - they'll never listen to their messages because they want to talk to someone, you'd have to call them back anyway so no harm it's full. (Or they'd call you from the missed call, not because they heard your message.)

people with professional and PhD with full mailboxes do this, with jitter of up to hours.

the last full voicemail i hit i was called back nearly immediately, and they said "what, i just delete all my voicemails, if i call it says no new no saved"

There's a reason i'm harping on specific elements so much, because i don't think voicemail is magic, i guess.

do these people have voicemail boxes like this (nsfw language, a bit. idk. it's art.): https://nextcloud.projectftm.com/index.php/s/NSFW_voicemail_...
