So....yeah....
I am going to go ahead and retract what I said in my Voicemails blog for the most part. I STILL hate them, but now I have found a way to get around having to deal with them.
Google voice has emancipated me from my voicemail system. Voicemails bypass my phone and are transcribed directly into my email. I dont even have to check them on my phone ever to remove the icon because there IS no annoying little icon! There is even a link in the email that has the voicemail recorded in case I need to hear it.
Now I dont have to sneak around at work to listen to them. Now I can be watching a movie and see what message someone sent me without having to stop and listen. I am so happy!
So leave me a VM, I dont care!
