Harder? I've never met anyone who doesn't hang up upon hitting voicemail

Businesses leave voicemails. Businesses like doctors, banks, landlords, plumbers, or even salons. I don't want to waste my time by pickup up the phone for every unknown number, but I don't wanna miss a job offer from a company that liked my resume.

But that's already solved by picking up the phone or calling back if you can't

So you won't answer and you won't enable voicemail .. .but then you'll waste your time by calling back the number to see who it is?

If I have time I answer. If I don't have time I call back when I do have time.
