Do you answer "Unknown" callers?

[michael]

if i don't know the number, i don't answer. if it is important, they can leave a message.

i still do this

 

[Bearlove]

I never answer my phone if I do not know the person calling me. Mind you, I very rarely answer my phone and don't even know where it is ATM?

 

[iheartthisthread]

It is rare that I answer a phone call from a number out of town, or one I don`t know.

 

[ro4eva]

Absolutely not, never.

Coz fuck 'em, that's why.

 

[PriestTheyCalledHim]

I don't answer them.

^ That's where it's at... 8)

 

[llama112]

No, I don't. They can leave a voicemail. Or text me. Or email me.
I don't even answer phone calls when I know who it is, lol.

 

[Foreigner]

If it's unknown I don't usually answer it, especially if they don't leave a message.

 

[adam west]

i answer it. if its some kind of telemarketing i either put the phone on mute and wait for them to hang up or just wind them up, depending on my mood

 

[sconnie420]

Hell no I don't answer the phone.. Even if the number shows and idk who it is I'm not answering.

 

[XThexXTank]

you ignore, but they call back again the next day, and you ignore again, and they call every fucking day yet they never leave a goddamn message

 

[LutherF]

Let it go to voicemail, if they dont leave a message with their name and number or something, they aren't that important.

Answer it.

However, it saves time picking it up. Voicemail takes twice the time. Moreover, you can go into a phone tag doloop....I answer it on 2 or 3rd ring.

I don't have a landlines anymore so I figure if you call my cell and you are not in my contacts then I probably don't know who the heck you are and don't really want to talk to you. However if they do leave a vm, I will give it a listen. Just in case.

 

[aussie101]

i usually answer and don't say anything if i am trying to avoid someone

 

[gr33n3y3z]

Fuck em, I'm not wasting my time just to hang up on someone.

 

[ro4eva]

Plus, there's a lot of scams originating from "unknown number" / "unknown caller" in my area. Some pretty funny ones. However, after telling them off for the 10th time, yet they still call back, yeah... "Coz fuck em', that's why!"

 

[guerrilla]

aren't you curious whose the unknown caller?

 

[Wyld 4 X]

If they cant show their number, I cant be fucked to answer. str8 up

 

[smokemctoke420]

i give em the good ol red button, or the ignore button. if they want to announce themselves, i might talk. same goes for numbers i dont know. i have a md area code but i live in delaware so if a delaware number calls me its usually someone that knows me but if they're not in my phone ill wait for them to send me a text after i dont answer there call
