    Sending "AWAY" text messages?

    Is there no way at all to automatically send replies to text messages? I will be going "off grid" for some time and want people to know that I am away and not able to respond when they text me. Would this be an iphone thing? Or a Verizon thing? Is it even possible?

    I've had my iPhone 6s with Verizon now for almost 2 years now, I'm guessing 2 years because I have only one payment left on the phone. Anyways, **my current 6s is the A1688 model**.

    Carrier Verizon: why is the voicemail capacity so small?

    I barely use my phone at all. My voicemail is constantly full in part because I let most calls route there and call people back if necessary. The capacity is RIDICULOUSLY small — I’m guessing maybe five minutes of messages. It seems to me that capacity should (or at least) could be limited to...
