In the Pixel version of the service, the call goes to the carrier’s voicemail service. Inconvenient, but it’s better than missing the message altogether.

Yes. Pixels now do it. It’s slick.

If the phone is disconnected from the network, the provider’s voicemail service handles it.

Edit: here’s the support page describing it. It’s like old school answering machines, except that you see the live transcript, so you can decide to interrupt if you want to take the call. It’s really good.

Do pixels still have battery issues? I had lots of problems with a P4, but my P8 makes it through the day with lots to spare.

Aww yeah! I’m here for stupid hardware features. Make phones weird again!

DigiPaws looks great! Thanks for the link!
