How to Bypass a Ringing Phone and Go Straight to Voicemail

For anyone born after 1996, the stress of making a phone call might seem strange. In the past, making a call meant a racing heart, sweaty hands, and practicing what you were going to say, even if it was just to ask about store hours. These days, texting has taken over, and the idea of voicemail, where people would leave audio messages, feels outdated—most people don’t even check their voicemail anymore. But if you want to bypass a ringing phone and go straight to voicemail, there are ways to do just that avoiding the need for a full conversation.

Last year, the FCC started cracking down on telemarketers who leave “ringless” voicemails, which are messages that go straight to your voicemail without your phone ringing. But what if you want to do this yourself, to avoid a conversation with friends or family? If you want to leave a message without having a full phone chat there are ways to send a voicemail without ringing the phone. Next time you need to leave a message but don’t want to talk, try one of these options to go straight to voicemail.

Send a Voicemail Directly

Just check your voicemail menu for “send a message” option. This eliminates need to make a physical phone call in order to leave a voicemail.

Nevertheless, this function is only functional if both of you are using the same carrier. For instance, subscribers of T-Mobile and Verizon can send messages to one other but only to other T-Mobile users.
