I find that with my mobile phone answering service many people and many companies for that matter tend not to leave messages lately. The always seem to ring back at a later date rather than leave a message so I know why they rang in the first place! Most of my friends prefer to contact me via email or some similar digital technology.

Lara — > Yes, people are supposed to remain professional, and even if it’s an informal chat, common sense is supposed to be there.

It has been ages since I’ve been here!
I agree with you; I can’t stand it when people give important details via computer messages. The only way someone should ever contact me about a change is through SMS or my phone’s voice mail, and I’m pretty blunt about it to people if we make plans. It’s the only way I can really know about the change in plans, since I almost always have my handy (mobile/cell phone) on me and I don’t always go on the computer to religiously check for messages.
It’s terrible though, especially when people who are conducting business and are supposed to remain professional use messengers, and the fact that I can say some so-called professionals do that…

I perfectly agree with you on your opinion about acceptance of new technology.

As for as my opinion is concerned, Voice mail is an absolute flop in India. No body, let me stress on that, NO BODY, NOT EVEN CORPORATES use voice mail systems.

Mostly, if there is any important information to be conveyed I personally call them up or relay it through somebody. No SMS or Voice mail or eMail system work here.
