I don't understand why voicemail really needs ti be a separate service involving forwarding and such. Couldn't there be an app that picks up an unanswered call after a timer, plays a greeting, and records the reply? Couldn't that all be on the device?

Or is there some technical limitation that I just don't understand? I haven't found any such app, and all voicemail apps seem to be services that forward calls remotely.

In the Pixel version of the service, the call goes to the carrier's voicemail service. Inconvenient, but it's better than missing the message altogether.
