There is only one restricted caller I've EVER answered. Normally they get ignored.

Unless I was expecting a call for an interview from another State I don't answer unless I recognize the number. The number goes straight to the reject call list. If it's something important business wise, they usually have my address and can write me a letter.

I dont answer unkown numbers for this reason, it's a security issue any more. |

I have caller ID and a phone with voicemail I rarely. Take calls. I have returned a few at times. I do make calls and talk to friends for hours sometimes.
Men friends. |

If i don't know the number calling,
I don't answer. And, half the time, i won't answer the numbers i do know. Unknown caller? By appointment only. Also, if it isn't a situation that involves the police, an ambulance, or a firetruck. Don't call me after 9:00 p.m. CST, unless you want to become involved in a situation that involves, the police, an ambulance, and a firetruck.

I'm that way with mornings.. Do NOT call me before 9:30 AM, period. IF anyone calls before that, it better be a damn emergency.. (FWIW, people that know me know this rule, and I tell the few, rare people I give my number to of this, and yet...I got a call this morning from someone at 8:02...good thing I turn the ringer off at night (gotten a few wrong numbers at 3AM)... Yurns out they "butt disaled" me by accident. I have a landline, and an unlisted phone number...it shows as "Private" or "Restricted"...that's they way the phone company does it, not *my* doing. I will usually inform people of this when they want me to call them, and generally tell them when abouts I'll be calling so they will know it is me and not a telemarketer. |

just got yelled at cause i wouldn't answer a call from a number i didn't know
Then how did they yell at you? And why? If it was an emergency it's obvious you weren't necessary to its resolution. So what were they yelling? "Hey! You didn't answer your phone when I wanted you to because it's all about me and you're here for my gratification and convenience when I need you to be!" Or was it a work thing? Do you work at a customer service call center? That might affect your yearly performance review "Now, Mr. Datwasnt we try to accommodate special needs, but avoidance phobias regarding unrecognized phone numbers cannot be tolerated." am i the only one avoiding the robot calls ?
I don't even have my ringer or vibrate turned on. If they need me, they can leave a message or text. I'm not a 14 year old girl anxiously waiting for Billy to call me because I put my number and that I like him in a note I gave to my friend to give to a friend to give to one of his friends to give to another of his friends to give to him so he'll call me. My phone is about my convenience, not that of anyone else. the program i have on my cell will pop up and say its listed as a mass call number (others that have the same program have blocked it), do i want to answer or just auto block
That's how you break the internet, or the phone lines. People were downloading unknown sender auto-reply email programs, so auto-email sending programs would send to auto-reply, which would then generate more auto-sends. There are warehouses full of machines and a corner of the internet walled off where computers have been auto talking to each other since 1994. If you download an auto block app, then robo-callers will download an auto unblock block app or new phone numbers to try, and we'll get Y2K all over again, and phone numbers will begin to have letters and symbols in them. Then the phone company will have to install more phone lines and data streams, and all our bills are going to go up, and it's bad for the environment. So basically, every time you don't get scammed you're killing a polar bear. |

If I don't recognize the number I don't answer.
If a woman wants to call me and I give her my number I need her to message me with her last four digits or I won't pickup. I have answered calls from numbers I don't recognize if they are from the area code where I know my family lives. If I get a call from a 573 area code, I know its one of my kids. If I get a call from a 814 area code I know its is my sister's family. My one son that lives in this region knows the ring code in case he is stranded somewhere. I also delete 99% of my emails. I have 5 email accounts and only one of them is my family account. I don't even open M2 emails, straight to delete. When I get a notify of a message, I just sign in to M2 and look. Same with the other sites I frequent. |

If I'm not doing anything I'll answer them and occupy them as long as I can.
I figure if I keep them busy that stops them from bothering someone else and I enjoy it but I'm kind of a sick monkey. My recent favorites are the "big chance to save on paying your student loans", I've never had a student loan. And the "we can help you with your $15,000 dollar or more credit card debut", I paid off any credit cards I had a few years ago before I retired and don't even have any anymore. Just my bank debut card. The ones that piss me off the most are the I can barely speak this language ones. |

Then how did they yell at you? = i answered on the 3rd call , made back to back And why?

"Hey! You didn't answer your phone when I wanted you to because it's all about me and you're here for my gratification and convenience when I need you to be!" = i dont hang with people like that ... uhm that i was asleep was why i was not answering , uhm blamen me for traffic both in the drive through they was in and road trafic the normal stuff fam blames ya for Or was it a work thing? = no Do you work at a customer service call center? = no That might affect your yearly performance review "Now, Mr. Datwasnt we try to accommodate special needs, but avoidance phobias regarding unrecognized phone numbers cannot be tolerated." = uhm , is it wetter underwater , if your there when it rains , is it faster by buss then it is by train , between myself and i , i wonder who's the dumber , is it hotter in the south , then it is in the summer am i the only one avoiding the robot calls ?

I'm with Bluegrass. I have a landline with an answering machine. I do NOT have caller ID. 90 % of the time I do not answer untill after my message kicks in. If its a robo call they hang up. If its a doctor, friend or family and they begin to leave a message, I pick up and say hello. As someone else stated, the phone is for ME, not for the caller.
