I would like to cancel my voicemail, it's a fricken pain in the ass to have to delete one or two messages a day of nothing, or static, or a robocall. But I do get enough messages that are useful that I would have missed if I didn't have voicemail.
One example would be I generally screen my calls, for the above mentioned problem mostly. Sometimes I don't recognize the number and then when I go to the voicemail, it's someone I know, about something important. Even time sensitive. They could be calling from a different number, or a business line, or sometimes it's about an appointment I've made (doctor, dentist, whatever) and I haven't memorized the number yet. A lot of people still don't text, especially about stuff like that. I have been using e-mail for appointments recently, and that's very useful, but again, some places are way behind the times.
I'm surprised the two lawyers are thinking of cancelling their voicemail. I would think you'd have even more calls than me like that. Though, I guess you could be talking about personal phones v business phones.
