If it's important they will leave a voicemail.
Perpetually silenced.
Could be really urgent. Happens sometimes.
ok send me a text
Whenever it's my immediate family or partner I'm paranoid that they're dying or something, so probably can't send a text
Yes that's a great way to relay really urgent stuff that needs reply right away. lol
yes
Lol
They can leave a message about how urgent it is.
Lmao
They can leave a voicemail
And who knowns when that is being listened to
Exactly !
Google 6 phone lets me screen the call.
Everyone in my family has voicemail message that says "Sorry I missed your call, I don't check voicemail, please text."
I hate phone calls. Never answered the phone before the rise of cell phones, avoided getting a cell phone until they were wee computers, because the last thing I want is to be perpetually available by phone, still don't answer the phone.
I just allowed my voicemail to fill up and kept terminating the app for that and now no one can leave me a voicemail.
Everyone who ever left me a voicemail would tell me what the problem was in that then when I called them back, they told me everything they already said in the voicemail.
Well why leave a voicemail at all if you're just going to tell me all of that all over again?
Because they expect you to listen to the voicemail and then call back at your convenience. If you hate it, get a visual voicemail app to transcribe them for you.
That way, you'll at least be able to side-eye it and consider helping when your mother calls because she has fallen in the tub.
If you hate it, get a visual voicemail app to transcribe them for you.
visual voicemail uses cellular data and won't go through wifi. At least not on any smartphone I've ever had not that I know of anyway.
And most people I know who still leave voicemails don't speak clearly enough to be understood by that speech to text system so it comes up as a bunch of nonsense 99% of the time.
That's not my experience, I love the feature.
I can now just tell an AI to handle the call for me. It's probably another AI anyway. It's like letting your dog off leash at the dog park.
Just use airplane mode to hang up.
I just put my phone into airplane mode when I don't want to pick up. I think it's better than just declining or waiting for the call to time out.
I never want to pick up, though.
Or just turn it off for a bit
Is that the guy from Aqua?
Nice. Just in case you weren't joking: it's from the movie The Mummy.
The 1999 cinematic masterpiece starring Rachel Weisz and Brendan Fraser? Great flick.
I was joking but I appreciate your effort to help out and include people.
I tried finding an image where René isn't smiling. It's hard.
Edit:
.
Btw, how do I embed images? Do I have to download the image first?
Put your phone on airplane mode. The call will end immediately and the caller will see "call failed"
Is that Chakotay?
I don't know if you were waiting for a serious answer, but here you go.
Chakotay on Star Trek Voyager was played by Robert Beltran. Imhotep in The Mummy was played by Arnold Vosloo.
I think it's Imhotep from the Brendan Frasier The Mummy movie.
