TIL That you can call your voicemail without a phone plan (piefed.social)

You will need two things.

  1. Google Voice Number (yes I know, Google)

  2. Wi-Fi calling

If your phone plan expires for whatever reason and you think you can't reach your voicemail again to see if anything was missed. You can call the voicemail itself by jotting down the number of which you call your voicemail by and input your password to that voicemail through Google Voice. I just discovered this yesterday when I couldn't use my phone because my minutes were up.

TIL That having voicemail isn't a legal requirement and not having it is actually really great.

I'm the opposite, I never answer the phone because anything important will leave a voice mail

You can also do this via the web portal if you happen to have wifi access. Just in case someone needed that information.
