The absurdity of 1 second voice mails - time for a new provider.

From the “Must have been a feature they finished up on Friday” department. I bring you….. the 1 second voice mail from quickvoicemail.com

On the tail of a 2 day feature outage where my ‘out of town’ message was stuck “in place” now I am vastly less patient for these blatant time wasters.

This makes their entire engineering effort seem ridiculous. Even voice mails up to 10 seconds long are empty - every time. In fact… I have set up an Outlook rule to clean up this crap that’s forwarded to me. But it doesn’t help when I have to log in to their system and clean them up.

Outlook Rule: Yep.. forgot “1 second”.. didn’t think I needed it.. but I was wrong.

I’m definitely in the market for a new hosted voice mail. Giving Grand Central a try after a few people have recommended it.
