A funeral for voicemail - The Oatmeal

If you’re a usual person, then “boo-hoo, people are so scared to be blocked by you”.
If you’re a moderator or something, you’re evil and unfit the position. -

That’s because The Oatmeal made that game

That’s me. I’ve been typing out all your messages and you don’t even seem to appreciate it! My fingers hurt…

I love getting transcripts and then returning the call that goes to their voicemail.

Voicemail is dead, long live the voice message.

How do you screen phone calls without voicemail?

I do love the oatmeal, but everything he does now is just for money. He’s probably just got a team of writers at this point.

I get tons of spam calls and basically zero spam voicemail ️
Plus with most carriers being able to transcribe voicemails I don’t even need to listen to them.

Private or unknown number? Assuming my phone is on. Please think.

What makes you say that? The website seems way less ad heavy or monetized than most webcomic sites. I dont even see a link for a patreon or any sort of paywall. Theres one trailer for his netflix show but thats barely even self promotion, and doesnt come close to the shameless levels of nearly begging that a lot of webcomic artists do.

Your phone will show the phone number of the person who left the voicemail. Please think.
Not every number is private or unknown. Please think.

Are these people just raw dogging phones calls?

I send all unknown calls to voice mail. I’ve had my carrier disable voice mail for my phone line.
My providers all use email or are ‘known’ by my phone. … I hope. -

So when the new specialty pharmacy phones you for details on where to send your prescription, you’re just gonna … not?

Voicemail’s definitely not dead.
I can’t find any voicemail services that work the way I want them to though, so I started building my own using Twilio to handle the incoming phone call + ElevenLabs for text-to-speech + AssemblyAI for speech-to-text + Trestle Smart CNAM API for identifying the caller. I’ll open-source the code once it’s ready.

I don’t answer the phone for unknown numbers. Super simple

My pharmacies have always sent me a text notification that my prescription is ready for pick up. The only people calling my phone are scammers
