    My ex-boss used to talk to my voicemail as if I was there- kind of fun to listen like ten minutes of monologue
    My new boss never leaves messages- he knows I will call back once I see he called.
    Funny enough the new one is much better in communications than the old one- does that make sense?

    Instead of leaving messages I prefer to write texts.

    Me too - and I always hated it before. The only voice mail message I might get would be from my brother - everyone else will text me.
    I will leave a voice message for someone if I have to tho, since I don't know if they like text or not. A lot of people don't - just like I didn't used to.

    I hate going through the hassle of listening to voicemails, sometimes I leave them, sometimes I don't. It just depends on the situation. I prefer texting over calling anyway .

    I don't text. I don't have a "real" cell phone, just a tracphone. I still don't get the texting thing. Maybe if I did it a few times I would get it. I really like to actually talk to people on the phone.

    I fear one day no one will be talking to anyone with all of the modern technology.

    My boyfriend always give me a hard time when I'm texting my friends. If it goes on for a long time he says "just pick up the phone and CALL them!" And I say...I don't want to talk to them. LOL
    He texts more now that he has the voice activated texting thing on his phone. So he doesn't have to type it out, he just speaks and it types it.

    Technology is already taking over. Sad but true.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I only leave a message if I really need to talk to him, otherwise he knows he needn't call me back. But we rarely use our cell phones anyway, just for times when they are truly needed - emergencies or "I'm at the store and drawing a blank, what was it you wanted me to pick up?"

    And we do not text each other, and don't even have a plan that includes texting, as we don't use it!

    I don't like text either.....it's really hard to get the "heavy breathing" effect in text messages.

    Before I bought a blackberry at mom's insistence, I was fine without it even I could text. No plan as I didn't text enough to warrant it.

    Now I've gotten use to it. Still don't text much, but I prefer it to leaving voice mail. It's instant and I don't have to wade through the options. It's great for arranging appointments and meeting times or a quick check.

    I am in no way addicted to it. I don't even answer my phone when it rings. My cell phone is for convenience.
