caught on voicemail

A situation where a conversation not meant to be heard by a third party is recorded on voicemail or answering machine, due to one participant dialling a number (perhaps unintentionally) and forgetting to hang up after the call was not answered. The voicemail then activates and records the conversation. The person, on whose voicemail the conversation was recorded, can then listen to the conversation he/she was not meant to hear, and if necessary, provide it as evidence.
Such voice messages are often of poor sound quality, due to cell phone being placed in a pocket or purse, but often can be clear enough for the listener to extract the main idea.

Kate: So, I've heard you're going out with Adam? That's just two days after I broke up with him!?
Lana: Ahm... ... Who told you?
Kate: I heard your whole conversation with Carol on my voicemail. You called me, and must have forgotten to hang up after I didn't answer.
Lana: F***! I can't believe it got caught on voicemail!

voicemail jail

A pre-recorded telephone answering system where callers are asked to press numbers on their telephone to hear different messages. Can often lead callers in circles, preventing them from doing what they are trying to do. These are most often used by large companies who are too cheap to get real people to answer the phone.

I tried to call the carpeting company but I got stuck in a voicemail jail.

new england voicemail

When you set your phone to vibrate, shove it into your ass, and have your partner call you repeatedly.

Last night, she gave me a new england voicemail, so I had to void the warranty today.

Voicemail Rape

When you ring a friend and leave a stupidly long message so that they have to listen to it all to delete it.

You can sing to them play an annoying song as long as it takes a lot of time and they hate the little voice mail icon.

Victim - "Oh look I have a voicemail"

Phone - *never gunna give you up*
5 Minutes later
Phone - *Who you gunna call Ghostbusters*
Victim - "I've been Fucking voice mail raped"
That would be voicemail rape

Voicemail Tango

When you call someone and start leaving a voicemail, only to have them call you while leaving the message, possibly going to your voicemail, and you are both dancing the (brrum pum pum) voicemail tango !

"Did you reach Sue last night ? "
"No, I tried but we just did the voicemail tango until my battery died"
"Sux dude"
