Now it’s catching on, according to an article on TechCrunch.

Typical voicemail messages today include things like “Please don’t leave me a voicemail, I rarely listen to them. Please just email me at xxxx@xxxx.com” Many people don’t bother setting up their voicemail accounts at all. Then there’s my favorite method, the one I use personally – let the message box get full and then don’t empty it. Caller ID still tells me who called, and I can simply call them back.

How many times have you called someone back and said “I saw that you called but didn’t listen to the voicemail yet, Is it anything urgent?”

If you’ve called me in the past 4 years you know I hate voicemail and my box is usually full. I’m really glad this is becoming normal and is not just a product of my communication related neuroses, which will probably get a post of their own in the future.
