For anything that needs to be done "very quickly", a phone call is the correct response. Do it right now.

    Are you able to call? I know calling sucks but since it's urgent, I'd call.

    Why did you respond to a voicemail with a text message? They’re clearly expecting a phone call.

    Why would you expect anyone to call you in 2025!?

    Who even still uses voicemails in 2026? Aren't you supposed to hang up and send a text if it goes to voicemail?

    How do you send a text from a work phone?

    My work phone is a cell phone. Regardless, texting services are available for landline phones.

    Double-regardless, my comment was more a tongue-in-cheek commentary on my dislike for voicemails more than anything serious. I still receive voicemails from people who I know are using a cell phone.

    I think this is a rare case of where an actual phone conversation might clear up the confusion. If you have the number, that is.

    Is [contingency] something that may be contingent on other things that may take time to verify?

    An answer dependent on a contingency is not a 'yes', it is a 'maybe'. When there is a waitlist of people who can say 'yes' without contingencies they are not going to take a 'maybe'.

    Yep. You missed your chance by not following instructions.
