The freebie voicemail boxes are not reliable. I had 250 business cards printed with one voicemail number, and the company cancelled its service. So they want us to be open to all those unwanted business phone calls and any crackpot who gets mad at us and wants to come to our door to settle the score?! (I've received threats before.) If they don't like the fact that I haven't updated my phone number, then they can pay for an alternative that will keep my private info private. Or they can change the rules.
