My long held decision is not to active voicemail to a mobile phone.
If the caller is genuine and wants their call to be returned, their missed call will be registered on my phone with a number that they can be contacted via.
Alternatively, they can send a SMS.
Voicemail adds another variable and therefore, delay and confusion can arise. Always best to eliminate variables where possible.
