Comment on Outside the US? Then you’ll be getting worse versions of the Google Pixel 8 and iPhone 15

It happens on device before your carrier. So you don’t have to pay for voicemail. Big unexpected surprise for me (as I don’t have vm). Otherwise it’s on the fly and instant. Thought I wouldn’t care but sending unknow callers there is slick.

Do carriers still charge for voicemail?

  Yes. Often an add on. In Canada, it’s especially the case with koodo (telus’ “discount” brand) or lum (sasktel’s).
  
  E.g., www.koodomobile.com/en/rate-plans

    This isn't a thing on any carrier I've personally used (in the US). Voicemail is just expected. Visual voicemail, however, is a paid feature.

They charge you to be able to use voicemail in America? (I’m guessing that’s where you are since you didn’t specify)

  In Canada. Yes they do. See my comment here: lemmy.world/comment/4958540
