Verizon Wireless' Voicemail system SUCKS! #!@$

[? (=Þ)]

Okay... why is it that messages are automatically saved if I don't delete them after listening? And then I can't seem to find an option to delete saved messages? Then 2 weeks later, I'm forced to listen to every saved msg that is about to be deleted by the mail cleanup sys... and I can't delete them w/o listening to the entire message first? Gawd this is sooooo annoying ot have to spend a couple extra minutes of talk time (peak), and listen to that crap again. Worse yet, its annoying like hell to check my v-mail while driving and have to listen to the saved ones being deleted before hearing a new msg.

because then people would call up and complain.... not the best idea to have it be a default that messages are deleted without confirmation.

you can fast forward through the messages... # will skip to the next message, or 337, which will erase the message you're listening to.

337? hmm ill try that next time...

I had cingular before verizon and their v-mail system was great. If you didnt delete or save the current messages, its kept in the current msg inbox. You dont have to choose between deleting or saving them on the spot. And it doesnt auto do something for you.

Also, you were allowed to save/delete/skip in the middle of a msg, rather than waiting til the entire msg played. =|
