Yeah that's going to screw you over at some point, I presume.

I had the California DMV try to reach out to be about some form inconsistencies and they only contacted me by phone and voicemail. (To their credit they left me 3 voicemails through a very busy day I had.)

There was no other way they were going to contact me before letting my car registration expire.

Same thing just happened to me just this week, I wasn't checking voicemails because I get too many spam calls / spam messages and I almost got withdrawn from Graduate School because of it -- (I needed to verify a term break and since I never did, automatic withdraw initiated.)

Sorted it out, but barely. Very frustrating to have that sort of outcome from the root cause of phone spammers.
