I find both answering machines and voicemail useful. It tells about the subject of the call.
I still have a landline (with an answering machine), along with a cellphone (with voicemail). I almost never answer them unless I recognize the phone number or business due to the prevalence of junk phone calls (and now junk text messages as well).
I only return calls where there is a message about something that applies to me.
I also leave voice messages about who I am and why I called with people. They almost always call back.
My voicemail app on my phone doesnt work so I perfer if people text me. I have different ways to contact my boss so if they cant immediately get back to me, they will notice that I tried to call. And send me a message if its urgent enough, or I have the time to take another phone call.
Not because I cant leave a message but because the problem is often too complex to be explained over a voicemail.
