minus-square@Sigma_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish5•1 year agoIt 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.
minus-square@SmashingSquid@notyour.rodeolinkfedilinkEnglish8•1 year agoDo carriers still charge for voicemail?
minus-square@Sigma_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoYes. 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
minus-squareSaltySalamanderlinkfedilink1•1 year agoThis isn’t a thing on any carrier I’ve personally used (in the US). Voicemail is just expected. Visual voicemail, however, is a paid feature.
minus-square@SmashingSquid@notyour.rodeolinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoThey charge extra for international sms too? Wow you really get screwed.
minus-square@DimalinkEnglish2•1 year agoThey charge you to be able to use voicemail in America? (I’m guessing that’s where you are since you didn’t specify)
