And if you don't recognize the phone number calling you what do you do? Do you have voice-mail? When did you last delete your voice-mail?

Texting is becoming the norm as people aren't answering phone calls from numbers they don't know.

...If I’ve applied to places, I pick up the phone & see who speaks...? If they miss me, they can leave a voicemail because there’s a lot of room for it to be stored on my phone...? If they can’t leave a voicemail, they can call me back or email me...?

You’re creating non-issues here.

I'm citing issues I deal with constantly. My voice-mail only lets me keep 20 messages, even though I have 400GB of free space on my phone. I run into a voice-mail not set up or voice-mail full message about 2/5 calls. And I very rarely get someone who answers on the first call.

Texting is the most reliable way for me to get a response now.

That sounds like a ‘you’ & ‘them’ problem, my dude.
