The No More Voicemail app stops callers from leaving voice messages, prompting them instead to send [text messages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rply-mac-app) when appropriate. The service is specifically designed for consumers that don't check their voicemail often or find little use for it at all. Rather than directing the caller to a messaging system, the app sends [unanswered calls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truecaller-app) to a state of endless ringing in order to discourage them from leaving a voicemail. The roundabout service offers a non-confrontational way to avoid taking calls.

Voicemail is starting to phase out, as consumers are embracing [text messaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texttheinternet) as a way to contact one another -- even when the opposite person isn't instantly available. The No More Voicemail platform further supports this by turning calls into endless rings, disabling callers from leaving a voicemail all together. The app hopes to inspire callers to no longer leave voice messages and instead opt for texting.
