No, I don't. I never make phone call or leave voicemall messages in English because I don't talk to someone in English, only in Spanish.

Hello everyone. Well I've never left a voicemail before because I think it's more common nowadays to leave a message on WhatsApp than a voicemail.

Do you ever make phone calls or leave voicemail messages in English? 

I sometimes made phone calls for work in English, but I've never left a voicemail messages.
