If it’s important, they can text me. I ain’t listening to voice mail. Eww, what is this, the Middle Ages?

About a year ago I changed my voicemail to say "Sorry I missed your call. I don't listen to voicemails, please send me a message by SMS instead."

I couldn't recommend doing so more. Text is so much easier, even if you have voicemail transcription.
