Empty very short voice mail messages

[attRetiree]

Why, oh why, does Verizon Fits Voice Mail store very short empty voice mail messages instead of deleting them?  Can't they add an option for minimum length (in seconds) to keep?  And with a little bit of software, they could tell that there's no one speaking on these very short messages, so delete them as they're clearly useless and VERY ANNOYING!

I suspect that if there is any background noise on a telephone call, the voicemail system would treat that as speaking and record until the originating party/bot/autodialer disconnects. I'm not sure if there is some sort of legal reason for not having an auto delete function. 🤔
