Ringless voice mails from telemarketers

I wholeheartedly agree with all your points (and that is exactly what I meant with accessible). But it being voice is also a major issue of its own.

You can't check voice messages in many situations where you can read and possibly respond to a text. Also, if you listen to music/podcasts/whatever there will be an annoying interrupt.

I get an interrupt when I receive text messages too. I want it; it lets me know that someone sent me a message.

Of course, but there is a huge difference. Read the text and then continue - total time is less than 5 seconds. Often you don't even miss a beat doing what you are doing anyway.

Rather than having to stop what you are doing, check voice mail, and then continue. And in many situations you can't even do it (meeting, lecture, noisy environment etc.).
