Not a fan of voicemails. Leaving them or receiving them.
First leaving them. I hardly pay attention to the automated voice with the instructions on what to do when I finish with the message so once I am done recording I end up guessing by pressing #. If it does nothing then I try another number hoping to hear "If you are satisfied with you message, press 1" or whatever it is meaning you got it right. If I get it right the first try then F YEAH!.
But then I feel like I sounded like an idiot or messed up but usually don't care unless I really mess up then I hag up and try again because I don't know what option it is to re-record the message. Oh but have a lot of information to leave? Too bad since voicemails can only be a certain length but it doesn't let you know that. You find out when, and if, they call you back and when you ask them if they got the message they let you know it got cut off.
Next is receiving them. Our system is terrible. I access it then need my password. I then have to listen to the automated voice EVERYTIME on what to press to access new messages. I already know I want to hear new messages but if I press 1 to quickly get to next it does not advance it until it is done talking. "If you want to hear...*1*...new messages press 1". Really? then I have to press 1 again. Then I have to hear the voice give me the time, date and number that called of the message before I hear it. Once done I have to decide to save or delete but let's be real, we need to replay it 4 times to write down the number they left to call them back.
