As I posted earlier. "Do not activate your voice mail".
That way no one can leave a message period.
Problem solved for robo calls, marketing, etc.

What I found with voice mail is the caller calls, leaves a message and as far as they are concerned their responsibility part of the call is done. They assume you have received and read it and acting upon it accordingly.

Only thing is If you are NOT one of those that checks your voice mail every 2 seconds, a very serious call/emergency may not be returned in a timely fashion.

Texts and only texts IMHO is the only way to converse on a cell phone. One button touch and it's all there to view and one button touch to reply. And you can block with one touch also. Something you can't do with the phone voice mail.

I have found the complete opposite of your recommendation. Spammers rarely leave a message and robo call virtually non existent in voice mail. If it is a spammer they will not waste their time. They get paid by the sale not wasting their time leaving a worthless message.

I use my phone for business and to make sure family can keep in touch. Why would I eliminate a tool to that end?

As far as your last comment about the texts. That is exactly how my voicemail works also.
