   It's possible you're observing a cultural shift that I haven't been   
   exposed to. I know that my son, who is 32, ignores voice mails and   
   didn't even set up a mailbox until he'd had his cellphone for over a   
   year. However, I have always been surprised by how quickly both he and   
   his friends check *ANY* signal from their cellphones, so I think my   
   point is valid, at least for the millennial generation.
