If it's important they will leave a voicemail.

Perpetually silenced.

Could be really urgent. Happens sometimes.

Yes that's a great way to relay really urgent stuff that needs reply right away. lol

Whenever it's my immediate family or partner I'm paranoid that they're dying or something, so probably can't send a text

LeafOnTheWind@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

They can leave a voicemail

Kusimulkku@lemm.ee · 0 pts · 2y

And who knowns when that is being listened to

They can leave a message about how urgent it is.

Because they expect you to listen to the voicemail and then call back at your convenience. If you hate it, get a visual voicemail app to transcribe them for you.

That way, you'll at least be able to side-eye it and consider helping when your mother calls because she has fallen in the tub.

That's not my experience, I love the feature.

I just put my phone into airplane mode when I don't want to pick up. I think it's better than just declining or waiting for the call to time out.

zarkanian@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 2y

I never want to pick up, though.

whotookkarl@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Or just turn it off for a bit

Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 2y

Google 6 phone lets me screen the call.

Is that the guy from Aqua?

Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de · 4 pts · 2y (4 replies)

Nice. Just in case you weren't joking: it's from the movie The Mummy.

elephantium@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

The 1999 cinematic masterpiece starring Rachel Weisz and Brendan Fraser? Great flick.

I was joking but I appreciate your effort to help out and include people.

I tried finding an image where René isn't smiling. It's hard.

Edit: smiling .

Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 2y

Btw, how do I embed images? Do I have to download the image first?

RBWells@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Everyone in my family has voicemail message that says "Sorry I missed your call, I don't check voicemail, please text."

I hate phone calls. Never answered the phone before the rise of cell phones, avoided getting a cell phone until they were wee computers, because the last thing I want is to be perpetually available by phone, still don't answer the phone.

Kolanaki@yiffit.net · 4 pts · 2y

I can now just tell an AI to handle the call for me. It's probably another AI anyway. It's like letting your dog off leash at the dog park.

Just use airplane mode to hang up.

davepleasebehave@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (5 replies)

Is that Chakotay?

Albbi@lemmy.ca · 38 pts · 2y (3 replies)

I think it's Imhotep from the Brendan Frasier The Mummy movie.
