Whatever comes from the carrier. No reason to have yet another company have access to that
Good point
You use 3rd party voicemail apps? What even is a voicemail app, isn’t it just a number you call with your regular phone app?
I need the transcription, it’s hard for me to hear voicemails most of the time
iPhone transcribes in its default app
I hate voicemail.
This. I have turned it off, so I don’t need to deal with spoken messages.
I’ve been using Google Voice for years. Sign up for a free number and forward voicemails to the Google number. It transcribes and allows me to keep all my voicemails no matter which carrier I switch to and it’s 100% free. The only thing I wish they still had was custom greetings depending on who calls.

This is true. Though, I’m already using a Pixel, so they’re already reading all my messages, emails, seeing my photos, etc. I would expect any other voicemail service could/would do the same.
There are….voicemail apps??
Yep! I’m currently using a horrible one (Voxist) which also sends data to facebook. So I’m trying to find an alternative but judging by the responses thus far i may just have to pay my carrier for the transcription.
I use google voice to completely ignore my voicemail.
Voicemail is rather outdated.
The most common message that people leave is “This is XX. Call me back.” which is a bit pointless if you have caller ID (and maybe their name in your contacts list).
Messaging apps also exist and copy-paste ing numbers and text from messages is much easier than from voicemail.
I’ve turned my voicemail off.
Understandable! The only reason i have it on is for medical calls
The one that came with the phone
I think I use voicemail maybe once a year. I’ll just use whatever is the default
