I just placed a quick call to a vendor to check up on the status of a repair that’s being done. All-in-all, very mundane and basic.

The interesting bit was that when I hung up the phone, I received a message saying that I had 4 new voicemail message. Four. Seriously. And I was only on the phone for two minutes!

I’m not claiming that I’m super popular. The contrary is closer to the reality of the situation. The deal is, the oldest one was from September 20th. That’s over two weeks ago — and I’m just NOW getting the alert that I have voicemail messages.

It’s not like I’ve flown or been in any out of service areas in that time. There’s simple no excuse for not receiving a notification for four voicemail messages for over two weeks.

I’ve already been considering moving away from Virgin Mobile — this is just one more big push in that direction.

For anyone interested, the only reason I’m on Virgin is because they bought out Helio, who I was a customer with by choice.
