Telemarketers have figured out how to leave you junk-voicemail WITHOUT your phone ringing and some states are perfectly fine with it.

"Mr. Kemp had just experienced a technology gaining traction called ringless voice mail, the latest attempt by telemarketers and debt collectors to reach the masses. The calls are quietly deposited through a back door, directly into a voice mail box — to the surprise and (presumably) irritation of the recipient, who cannot do anything to block them."
