It has been that way for a while. I did like being able to just go through my box and leave messages so as not to disturn the individual for something that wasn't all that important, anyway. I think the main problem now is the advent of the smart phones. I have one and she doesn't. I think that's why the whole voicemail thing changed. Once you figure things out, it's not too bad and, thank God for Do not Disturb which goes on at 10:30 P.M. CDT.

Barb, and everyone, the part of the voice mail in the prepaid verizon phones
where you could press 2 in voice mail to make a message to another verizon
customer. I don't know exactly when that was eliminated from the voice mail
but I noticed it gone in november. I't's not anything I absolutely need or
would use all the time. Mostly I used it with 2 friends, which besides phone
calls we used that method of messaging to keep in touch. I just thought I
would mention it since it wasn't always that way.
