One purpose is for legitimate calls on the behalf of others.
I got a call just yesterday from my DR's office reminding me of a scheduled appointment. Have no way of knowing for sure, but I have no doubt that it's a service spoofing their office phone number so the calls get answered. It was a computer generated voice and automated response processing.
- saghm 8y agoSpeaking personally, I always let calls from numbers not in my contacts go to voicemail and then listen to the message afterwards to see if I need to call back. For an automated appointment reminder, calling from a different number than my doctor's office wouldn't be an issue, since it would still go to voicemail just the same (which I actually prefer, since then I can listen to the message again later if for some reason I forget the time).
