   You still can be reached even when you cannot answer a call

   There is still some way for another person to give you a verbal message, even when you are unavailable to talk on the phone.

Also, with a voice mail, you are sure that you are not being pranked or scammed by another person because you can hear the voice exactly and you know who you are listening to.

It will help you prioritize the callbacks that you need to do in terms of urgency.
