If I remember I have made two phone calls untill now and I have never left voicemail messages in English.

Yes, I do.Typically, when I make a phone call and the other side is not available I leave a voicemail message for her or him.

Well ! till this date i haven't sent an voicemail. When i was a freshman i started using phone and make calls since then. How time has changed now its done in various ways such as making calls in messenger , whatsapp ,viver and many more. Lets hope it will become simplest in the days to come.

Yes, I have made a phone call in English many times but haven't sent voicemail yet. But now it's super easy to make calls via internet. Nowadays, we can call our friends and family through whatsapp, imo, messenger so on and so forth. Thank you!
