To me, a missed phone call means that you thought of me in passing and thought it’d be nice to talk. A voicemail means that you had some purpose or need. Honestly, I don’t even listen to the voicemail, it’s just a tool to gauge how quickly you’re expecting to hear back from me. Half the time, by the time I call back, a lot of the voice message was irrelevant anyway.
IMO it’s inconsiderate to send a voice note that is longer than about 1.5 minutes. Any longer and it’s the audio equivalent of an overly long text.
