Europeans: GET VOICEMAIL

[Boris Godunov]

Or at least frickin' answering machines! How hard is can it be? Aren't you considered first-world nations? Why is it no one I call in Europe--not even at major businesses--seems to have voicemail? It's the 21st century, for pete's sake!!!! I NEED TO LEAVE YOU A DAMNED MESSAGE.

AAAAAAARRRGGGggggggghhh!

Thanks.

When it comes to business needs, however, you will find it vital.

Unless that's voicemail or some kind of intercontinental ballistic missile, I'm not interested in it.

[Gangerolf]

it's a text message, barbarian

don't you have mobile phones?

Voicemail? How very 90's....

Text messaging is for dorks who don't have voice mail. Why bother typing in a message on a tiny keypad when I can just say it in half the time?

I need to leave a rather detailed message, which is a real pain on a mobile phone. Voicemail really would be easiest.

I don't understand these backwards folks...you'd think it was the 1960s!

[Gangerolf]

send an email then

Now if these ludite Euros were really into the 21st century then they would have one voice mail box which they accessed via their mobile, home, or office phones like we Californians do.

Call forwarding is another nice feature we have. You call one number and the persons mobile, office, and home number ring so you don't have to bother tracking the call ditching bastard down.

We do some work with some Germans, they all have cell phones... Also, if there is to be a detailed conversation I usually just tell them to call me when they get back in the office, to which they ussually tell me at what time that would be.


Or, you could deliver the message the old fashion way; by mail

Heck, maybe airmail, strapped to a bomb, that is dropped offer its destination would be quicker.

Anyway, I think most people have voicemail on their mobiles..
But not at home. I really don't know why

Because at home people have answering machines

Naw 1, that's to obvious.
