    Many smartphones today have a call screening option where a voice agent asks the caller why they’re calling and messages you the result.

    You will be glad to hear that what you describe is also pretty easy to setup.

      hold on where is this? last I checked no phone has in call playback of audio so even just simple answering machine apps can’t exist even though it would be superior in every way to network provided voicemail that you have to call and listen to purely via call audio and dialpad

          iPhone too. And the fall update can now detect when you’re put on a hold for systems that make you wait, and it will let you go about and when they answer it will let them know you’ll be available in a moment.
