[Electronics-Talk] change in voice mail

Hi, Arlene:
Since my wife is on my Verizon share plan, and she uses The Haven, the Voice
Message option still works for her.
I have a feeling it has something
to do with one phone being an analog device, [I reckon, correct me someone
if I'm wrong], and my iPhone being a digital device.
Now I don't know about my daughter who's on my family plan too. She has the
Galaxy 5S. And you know how some youngsters are these days. They don't
listen to Voicemail let-alone talk on the phone.
My girls only respond when I send them a text message and tell them to call
me or answer their phones.
Vince
