    A better voicemail.

    I just re-watched the introduction of the first iPhone, and one thing that stood out to me was this “visual voicemail” thing they showed. To this day I still just get an SMS if someone leaves a message, and then have to call my voicemail and listen to recordings one by one. That’s still the norm for standard phone contracts here afaik, it’s ridiculous!

      I’ve had my google voice account handle voicemails for like 15 years and it did that for me. Well, now I don’t have to, but it’s been great.

      I have a Samsung S20 and it has visual voicemail, haven’t dialed my voicemail in years. I assumed most phones from the past couple years had it, but my husband’s Google pixel doesn’t,.

      I agree, this needs to be a standard.

      I generally love T-Mobile, but it’s obnoxious that they charge an extra monthly fee if you want visual voicemail.
