What percentage of phone calls (to your personal phone) do you answer?

I'd say I'm hovering around the 60% mark.

I don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognise, unless it identifies someone I'm expecting a call from with the "maybe" thing. I don't use my phone for work (often). I don't call people to catch up, I'd rather IM. My mother or my best friend call and I ignore them more often than I probably should.

But really I just don't like talking on the phone that much.

Overall maybe only like 5–10%. Known numbers always, unknown numbers get iffy when I might be expecting a call from somewhere but don’t have their number saved.

POTOOOOOOOO ,

If it’s a number I don’t know and it’s a scam. I always try to pick up and insult their parents for not raising them right.

I answer calls from saved numbers and my local hospital and that’s about it. Otherwise you can leave a message and I’ll decide on getting back to you

My phone has been on silent permanently for the last 2 decades, so I miss 90% of calls. Only answer when it’s a known contact and I’m actively looking at my phone.

I have an app that blocks scam/spam so irl I answer 100% but technically I only pickup 50%

Close to 100% for known contacts.

Very close to 0% for unknown numbers.

Basically all of them.

A quick skim shows me that the only people who have called me this so far this year are:

  • Doctor
  • Dentist
  • Sister
  • Wife
  • Close friend

I expect that this would be much the same for last year too.

I have no reason not to speak to any of these.

Must be nice not getting like 2-8 spam calls daily (no, that is not an exaggeration)

I’ve had the same number for 24 years now. I have only ever had a handful of spam calls in total over that time.

I probably get one a month or so on my work number.

100% during work, 50% offwork depend on who they are. Tbh i wish i could not answer any phone call except friends and families.
