voicemail is a dead technology, just like the mini tapes they used to be saved on. its just 1 more notification type to waste your time anymore. disable it and never look back and i assume you that you wont regret it. if they really need to contact you they will text afyer an unanswered call. I suppose its only redeeming factor is if someone you care about passes away you have a recording of their voice to hold on to, which is priceless to some. regardless, I haven't had it enabled in over 10 years and it hasn't held me back

I have my phone set to ignore any unknown callers (not in my contacts) and when someone I do want to talk to but never put in my contacts (example I'm taking bids for a new roof) I need my voice mail to help identify who called / if I care.

In that case voice mail is required.
