I don't do voicemail either, at least on my cell. I get so much spam on that
thing it's unreal... so I don't even set the mailbox up. Texting is my
preferred method of contact, email second, phone call 3rd. If 1&2 fail, try
#3. I won't do Video! I'm a former radio DJ... video is TV which I had no
desire to do even back in the 70s.

 Vk> I'm a bit the same. ;)

What's a shame is they're supposed to give you an opt-out option by our
laws but what they do is once you click it and verify you want out, your
email address is then sold to 50 others! The new trick that some of the
mail admins have been doing (and I've been doing it now for years prior)
is take an incoming email's IP, look up the CIDR block and firewall the
whole darn block! Most of the larger offenders come from data centers who
don't give a hoot who they sell space to such as OV, AWS (where Winlink is!)
and others.

 Vk> Yeah I can't see that happening anytime soon.

Me either. Too many businesses live on two apps:
deFacingBook and eMail. I can see the second app... NOT the first.
