do you pick up calls that you have no idea who they are?

[kermalou]

just curious to see how many of you, pick up random callers on your cell phone?

i just got a call from a 713 are code and had no idea who/what that is, until I googled it and they left a message.

I only have phone service because of DSL. I don't even have a phone plugged in. Everything goes through my cell and if I don't have the number (a name comes up), then I let it go to voicemail.

 

[mcvickj]

Nope. If it is importain enough they will leave a message.

 

[Colt45]

I dont have a cell phone.

 

[meltdown75]

Yeah, unless it's a Toronto area code - then it's a telemarketer.

 

[SpunkyJones]

I don't answer. Hell, I don't answer most of the time when I know who it is.

 

[ViperSSD]

my only phone is my cell, and if i dont recognize the number (not in my phone book), i dont answer it.

it pretty much comes down to, if they really want to talk to me, they can leave me a voicemail and ill call them back.

 

[skim milk]

No, i just wait and listen to the voicemail

I also google the number to see who was calling

 

[IGBT]

..I leave the answering machine on 24/7..friends and family leave a message..otherwise the "box" deals with it.

I don't pick up calls from private numbers unless I'm expecting a call from someone I know that has their number blocked. Thats usually only the parents or sister.

Edit: Also don't pick up calls from displayed numbers unless I know who it is.

 

[nycxandy]

No.

 

[Scouzer]

No. I don't have voicemail either.

 

[Trygve]

No. I figure that someone calling from a blocked/unknown number is obviously concerned about maintaining their privacy and not giving away their identity. I think it's only fair to respect their wishes and not invade their privacy by picking up the phone and talking to them.

 

[saxophonoia]

No i don't

 

[Argo]

Hell no. Quite often I don't pick up calls even if i know who they are

 

[Cuda1447]

I get calls all the time from random people on my cell. I usually pick it up, unless Im sleeping, which happens alot !


Ive had calls from girls named Hope saying they will meet me at a certain location at a certain time...

Ive had calls from people thinking I was verizon and wanted to talk to me about billing?!?

Ive had calls from someone asking if I was McDonalds, that one was just wierd.

Ive won trips on my cell phone, and they weren't in my name.



I get random weird calls prob. atleast 2-3 times a week. Sometimes its interesting, cause I mess with a lot of people now, but sometimes its annoying.


The other night I was at my friends house and we were playing some poker when my phone rings. I pick up and its this girl on the other line, convo went like this...


Me: Hello?

Her: Hey

Me: Hey, whats up.

*silence*

Her: Nothing

*silence*

Her: Who is this?

Me: Who is this? You called me.

Her: I think I might have the wrong number.

Me: Thats ok, so whats up.

*Click*

I love taking random calls and then acting like someone just got stabbed and I need help.

 

[Zim Hosein]

[Kelemvor]

I would if I had a huge minutes plan but since I have a PAYG plan, I let them go to voice mail.

[ShOcKwAvE827]

I get wrong number calls all the time from Mexicans. If my cell doesn't recognize the number, then I'll usually speak Spanish.
