To get in touch with your friends, you had to call their home phone and if they weren't there, leave a message. Voicemails were ubiquitous, and we didn't think twice about leaving them. Now, texting is so common that most of us never leave voicemails, let alone set up our own. But it's worthwhile to have a voicemail on your iPhone. For one, if you miss a call from a potential employer, it'll sound more professional than whatever the default robot-voice message is. It's also good to have in the event that someone important, like your doctor, boss, or lawyer, calls. Luckily, setting up your voicemail on an iPhone is incredibly simple. Here's how to do it.
