Interesting discussion, Caroline. I was sort of surprised when the cell phone salesman didn't really know how to set up voicemail on my phone, and didn't really have any idea why I would want to do it in the first place. I still haven't set it up, which is weird to me. I appreciated the insight from you (and others) about the connection between the lack of landlines &amp; answering machines and the current lack of interest in voicemail.
