If someone leaves me a message it won't be heard. I just
delete voice mail without listening to it. Most of the
time I don't even set voicemail up.

I wish I could do that but in my situation, I can't.

I'll answer unknown numbers if I'm waiting for the doctor
or something else to call, otherwise with the help of hiya
on my iPhone it doesn't ring much anymore.

I get creditors calling (who think they're sneaky). Doesn't bother me as
they legally can't garnish my SSDI though the VA sure the hell can if they want.

Should have mentioned that if I order crap delivered or anything
involving a possibility of inbound calls with strangers, thats the only time I'll allow unknown callers. But as soon as I'm done the setting
goes back again.

I still let it go to voicemail...then call them back.

My contacts are my immediate friends and family and thats it. Everyone else
can leave a message and I'll respond if and when I feel like it.

I need to figure out how to set my Galaxy up that way. If they cannot leave a message I don't want to be bothered with their likely scam call.

Been a few years since I messed around with Android phones... if Apple has it then it should too?

Probably. I just need to monkey around and figure it out.

When is the last time a voice mail was anything other
then a computer calling trying to scam you into giving
gift cards to the gubment so you don't get deported?

I've never received a call like that. I have received a "your computer has 10,000 viruses on it". Love those.

The scam here is "Your SIN has been compromised." or "You're being deported" etc. etc.

It just plain doesn't like my accent. Siri can not deal with the low

But you still steal copper wiring from the power plant, right?

Thanks for clarifying. I was worried about that, since there are rumors of
you being deported. :D
