How to go straight to voice mail

The art of avoiding human interaction! Here are some ways to go straight to voicemail:

Method 1: Use a voicemail shortcut

• On most phones, you can press and hold the "1" key (or the voicemail key, if your phone has one) to dial your voicemail directly.
• Alternatively, you can dial the voicemail number directly, which is usually the same as your phone number, but with a "1" or "9" added to the beginning (e.g., 1-555-555-5555 or 9-555-555-5555).

Method 2: Use a speed dial or contact

• If you have a contact saved with the voicemail number, you can speed dial it to go straight to voicemail.
• On some phones, you can also assign the voicemail number to a specific speed dial key (e.g., "1" or "2").

Method 3: Use a third-party app

• There are several third-party apps available that allow you to bypass the ringing phase and go straight to voicemail. Some popular options include:
  • Voicemail Forward (iOS, Android)
  • Voicemail Direct (iOS, Android)
  • RingBoost (iOS, Android)

Method 4: Use your phone's settings

• On some phones, you can enable a feature called "Voicemail Direct" or "Voicemail Shortcut" in the phone's settings. This will allow you to go straight to voicemail by pressing a specific key or combination of keys.

Method 5: Use a voicemail-to-text service

• Some voicemail-to-text services, like Google Voice or Skype, allow you to set up a custom voicemail greeting and forward calls directly to your voicemail box.

Remember to check your phone's settings and voicemail provider's instructions to ensure that these methods work for your specific phone and service.
