    I've tried explaining to my son (who has decent phone skills)
    that while his generation may prefer texting, the people with
    the jobs and opportunities are my generation, and we grew up
    with voicemail greetings with your name in it. When you leave
    a message, ask for a call back and leave your number.

    Not all vmail systems offer to include the calling number
    properly. My cell provider allows me to press "5" to get the
    calling number, but sometimes that recording is just the person
    saying their name. Very frustrating.
