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

[vood0g]

i do, it could be friends making calls from different places. if not, then it doesnt take long to tell the person its the wrong number.

Whenever that happens I always pretend to be the person they meant to call, most people can carry on a long conversation without knowing I'm not really their friend. If I'm at home I always have a few soundboards open, so sometimes the wrong numbers wind up talking to Arnold Schwarzenegger or Miss Cleo.

Yes, more often than not it's someone I know who's bought a new mobile phone.

I answered my phone last week...

Some girl said, "I'm driving to Cinncinatti to spoon an ex-boyfriend.....what are you doing?"

I hated to say it, but I let her know she had the wrong number. She felt pretty awkward, but we kept talking for about 20-30 mins for the heck of it. 😛

Nope. I don't even pick up half the time when I know who's calling. I figure if it's important, they'll leave a message. (except when my parents call.. they always leave a message even when it isn't important..)

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.

Houston Area code.

My phone in my room is a 713 number.

I get some annoying calls by a mexican family looking for maria.

Every once in a while I will screw around with them.

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.

I definitely do not pick up unless i have an idea of who the person is. If they need to get a hold of me...they can leave a message.
