They lack a delete-whenever-you-want function. I’ve already sat through All The Details of some stinkin Offer from a putrid Call Center a few times, recorded in full by my stab-me-in-the-back message recorder, not to mention the calls that go on and on from friends and rels long after you done got the gist. I need need need that function, Aliant.

I don’t know if Aliant has this feature with their voicemail, but most carriers I’ve dealt with do. If you’re listening to a long, droning voicemail, or even one you want to hear, press 3 (and possibly 33). This should skip to the end of the message where you can do whatever you damn well please with the message. Hope that helps OP.
OHH thank you for that tip, Plastic Diver Guy…it DOES work with Aliant phones, and you have saved me from some insanely unecessary voice mails. Cheers.
