Ehh. For iPhone you are only missing out on “Live Voicemail”. I can’t remember the last time I even got a voicemail so don’t think I’m missing much
I get 5 Chinese spam calls a day… since turning on live voicemail they’ve mostly stopped, and the ones that make it through get deleted without me listening to them.
I LOVE the feature.
It happens on device before your carrier. So you don't have to pay for voicemail. Big unexpected surprise for me (as I don't have vm). Otherwise it's on the fly and instant. Thought I wouldn't care but sending unknow callers there is slick.
Do carriers still charge for voicemail?
Yes. Often an add on. In Canada, it's especially the case with koodo (telus' "discount" brand) or lum (sasktel's).
E.g., https://www.koodomobile.com/en/rate-plans
Pick 1 FREE Perk (available in Self Serve) Premium Voicemail Unlimited International SMS (from Canada) Rollover Data
Where the roll over data is the much better choice that would hurt to give up for roll over data
This isn't a thing on any carrier I've personally used (in the US). Voicemail is just expected. Visual voicemail, however, is a paid feature.
They charge extra for international sms too? Wow you really get screwed.
They charge you to be able to use voicemail in America? (I'm guessing that's where you are since you didn't specify)
In Canada. Yes they do. See my comment here: https://lemmy.world/comment/4958540
Can I get it to transcribe WhatsApp voice messages? I ignore them but people keep sending them.
Try telling people not to send you those
