It happens on device before your carrier. So you don't have to pay for voicemail. Big unexpected surprise for me (as I don't have vm). Otherwise it's on the fly and instant. Thought I wouldn't care but sending unknow callers there is slick.

Do carriers still charge for voicemail?

[–] Sigma_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes. Often an add on. In Canada, it's especially the case with koodo (telus' "discount" brand) or lum (sasktel's).

E.g., https://www.koodomobile.com/en/rate-plans

Pick 1 FREE Perk (available in Self Serve) Premium Voicemail Unlimited International SMS (from Canada) Rollover Data

Where the roll over data is the much better choice that would hurt to give up for roll over data

They charge extra for international sms too? Wow you really get screwed.
