Ehh. For iPhone you are only missing out on “Live Voicemail”. I can’t remember the last time I even got a voicemail so don’t think I’m missing much

    I get 5 Chinese spam calls a day… since turning on live voicemail they’ve mostly stopped, and the ones that make it through get deleted without me listening to them.

    I LOVE the feature.

    It happens on device before your carrier. So you don't have to pay for voicemail. Big unexpected surprise for me (as I don't have vm). Otherwise it's on the fly and instant. Thought I wouldn't care but sending unknow callers there is slick.

    Do carriers still charge for voicemail?

    Yes. Often an add on. In Canada, it's especially the case with koodo (telus' "discount" brand) or lum (sasktel's).

    E.g., https://www.koodomobile.com/en/rate-plans

    Pick 1 FREE Perk (available in Self Serve) Premium Voicemail Unlimited International SMS (from Canada) Rollover Data

    Where the roll over data is the much better choice that would hurt to give up for roll over data
