5. Leave a voice note using WhatsApp

These days, there are all sorts of communication methods you can choose from, not to mention voicemails. One of the best and easiest ways to communicate with someone without calling them is to send a voice message via WhatsApp. The process is simple, and who doesn’t use WhatsApp (or Telegram), to be honest?

Calling could be a better option

While it’s understandable that not everyone likes to call and have those hour-long chats with everyone in their contacts, voice messaging may just not be the best option if you have a very important message to deliver. Some people completely ignore your voicemails, or they may not be able to receive the message in time due to a poor internet connection. So, when it is very important, you should definitely place a call. For users who are troubled by unnecessary calls on their phones, you can read our guide which gives you some effective ways to stop incoming calls without blocking them.
