Simple solution : Always have the local search and rescue team in your contacts… Duuuh??

A lot of places call customers from some completely random numbers, not the official one. Very annoying.

I was joking actually, like totally joking… Saying the hiker or anyone should have had local search and rescue team in his contacts so when lost caller ID would identify them so he would answer and not ignore the call because of unknown number… Was a joke… But never mind 🤦

Yeah, the problem is i would have them in contacts listed under " rescue me!" And they’d call me from a number that’s not the one they gave me.

I would never have them in my contacts, I was just talking crap

It has nothing to do with social fear, every fucking call on my personal and work phone is a scam.

Get that shit under control and then maybe I’ll answer my cell phone once in awhile lol

Though if I was really lost I think I’d be answering every call tbh.

This has the making of a hilarious movie. Trying to convince the car warranty guy to save your ass from wild animals.

If you live in a supported country, (but only US have the automatic screening feature) I suggest getting a Pixel phone and use the call screening features.

I’m currently using a Samsung phone and it has a similar feature but the screening can only be done manually and Bixby’s voice is miles behind Google Assistant’s.

Because of capitlaism everything has to be ground into the finest point with the sharpest edge to make money. So the ability to talk to anyone on earth whenever you want has been reduced from a marvel scifi authors used to dream about to its current state were is an annoyance used to make your life worse whenever possible. It would be trivially easy to make like just a little bit better but that isn’t good for the gdp so people in risk of death can only assume the system is out to harm them

I remember this article… He went for a hike and didn’t tell his roommates when he would be back. He didn’t answer their calls (I’m assuming he needed some time alone), and was gone for more than 24 hours so they reported him missing. He just wanted some time away from his roommates and they put him the the national news.

Drewelite ,

Sounds like some people I’d need some time away from too lmao. Good to have people that care tho.
