How do you know if they blocked a legit call?
- toomuchtodo 8y agoFair point. I make it extremely easy to find me through methods besides a phone call, so I assume if a legit call did not come through because of T-Mobile blocking, I’d find out through an alternate channel (the caller iMessages or emails instead).
- ikeboy 8y agoWhat I've specifically found is I miss calls from businesses that I've requested, but did not know would be coming on that day or from that number. And they aren't going to send me emails about the missed call, usually.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoI give out a Google Voice number to callers of this type that doesn’t ring anywhere. I get an emailed voicemail transcription, and can choose to return the call at my leisure. Consider it!
- ikeboy 8y agoThe fact is, in the business world people often don't leave messages. You can miss important conversations if you don't pick up every call.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoIf you’re not leaving a message, the call isn’t worth returning. I don’t lose any sleep operating this way. I can appreciate that some people have no choice if inbound calls are business leads or the like. Find a more resilient inbound funnel flow I’d argue.
- ikeboy 8y agoFYI, I was paying attention recently and calls from my bank that I requested have been marked that way, for e.g. 2FA verification. If I had turned on the option to block such calls I'd have been left clueless why I wasn't getting the requested call.
