WE KNOW HOW you feel. It’s back to work tomorrow, you have the whole week ahead and a lot on your plate.

So do like we do here in TheJournal.ie HQ and get stuck into a serious debate on one of life’s most pressing issues.

Possibly.

This week: Did you ever ring someone on their mobile, leave them a voicemail and get a call back later which went something like this:

You: Hi? Did you get my message?

Friend: No, I never listen to my messages. What’s up?

You: *sigh*

Or are you the person who doesn’t listen to voicemails because you’ll ring back anyway?

So here’s the question: Do you listen to voicemails on your mobile phone?

Poll Results:

B - No, if I have a missed call, I'll just ring them back (1956)

C - No, and I won't ring them back. If it's important, they'll call again (1588)

A - Yes (697)

D - I don't have voicemail (670)

E - I don't have a phone (243)

A - Yes
B - No, if I have a missed call, I'll just ring them back
C - No, and I won't ring them back. If it's important, they'll call again
D - I don't have voicemail
E - I don't have a phone
