For all the improvements made in phone hardware and software, why is voicemail basically useless? VOIP services resolve some of the issues, but here are a few notable problems:
* Voicemails are stored in some kind of inbox that can only be accessed by calling a number
* Apps like “visual voicemail” still rely on calling to get access to your voicemails
* Voicemails are not transferred when you switch providers
* Voice mailboxes have an arbitrary limit to the number of messages they save
What is so hard about the voicemail platform that these problems still haven’t been fixed?

Some carriers allow users to use the native phone dialer’s visual voicemail, which allows users to read transcriptions or listen to voicemail without dialing their voicemail or using a separate app.
Portability can be a pain, but I just take and save screenshots.
