And THIS would be why.
The best feature on an iPhone. (And probably on Android phones as well, but I haven’t ever owned one of those.) The best feature on modern cellphones.
If our late-stage capitalistic hellhole is going to make it so trivial for every asshole on the planet with a bot app to illegally call and scam everyone on the planet, it’s good that there’s at leas one little thing that helps us fight back against the evil bastards.
My answering machine messages makes it clear that if someone from an unknown number gets sent to voicemail but has a legitimate reason to be calling, LEAVE A VOICE MAIL and I will return the call.
See how many of these low life bastards left a voicemail?
There are times when, usually due to an expected and critical call regarding work, I have to turn this feature off for a couple of days. It’s Hell.
