It used to be that a little yellow voicemail message icon was a permanent fixture on the face of my phone. Day after day, it would stare at me, begging for attention. “I’ll check it later,” I’d tell myself.  But later would come and go, and my poor neglected messages would wait for another day.  After all, if it was important, they’d call back, right?

I don’t have a personal hatred of voicemail or anything, but sometimes it’s just really inconvenient to dial in and listen.  My old office had the absolute worst mobile signal, so I could see that someone was calling, but couldn’t answer the call. I could receive text messages, but couldn’t dial out.  And so it began. I’d have to wait until I could go out and take a walk (far enough away from the building to get service) to listen to a message that may or may not have been important.  It took 15 minutes to listen to a 15 second message. Who has time for that?

So, yes, I was that person. You know, the one who never gets your messages, takes forever to call you back, and makes you feel like you are being ignored. The world is full of those people, people who just have a complicated relationship with voicemail. You probably even know some.  Want to help them out? Invite them to try Ribbit Mobile. They’ll be able to read their messages when listening isn’t an option, and they’ll no longer have excuses for ignoring your call.
