    I turned off voicemail years ago. Spam, hangups, long rambling calls with no useful details, long rambling calls for the wrong business. Our phone just plays a “Sorry we missed you” message, lists the hours and encourages them to send an email.

    My service provider lets me download messages as audio files.

    I’d download them and pop them into a player that can display waveforms, so that you can skip those pocket dials with a bunch of silence. Or so that you can speed up the audio to 1.5x, which will be 33% faster than listening at normal speed.

    OR if you dont feel like working for a few days, play the stuff back at 0.75x for a 33% increase of your billable hours.

      Almost every place I call has a voice mail limit to prevent people from rambling on. Some places are 60 seconds, some are 120 seconds.

      If OPs place is similar, they might only have an hour and a half of work.

    can’t you call into the voicemail system from an outside line, log into it, and listen to the messages?

    Assuming these are messages from the businesses customers, in what world would it be sane NOT to listen and respond to your customers?

    Play them on the biggest speakers you can get your hands on. Max out the bass, set the PC audio quality as low as possible.

    Trust me, I work in IT!
