I managed to get through 9-month contract roles at two different workplaces without ever setting up voicemail. Even though they were not phone-oriented workplaces I’m a little surprised I got away with that! Interestingly, in all that time only one person ever noticed and said something.

For all support requests/needs, please reach out to [email protected] and one of my colleagues will be happy to assist you.
