I know this doesn't help your case and may come off as mildly offensive, but I've simply stopped picking up the phone from numbers I don't know (phone set to silent too) a few years ago and it's wonderful.
Coworkers call via Slack or Zoom, rarely phone. Personal friends and family are on my address book so I know when they're calling (and can set custom ring tones if I want to). If I'm not actively trying to resolve something with a bank or health insurance or something, I'm not expecting anyone I don't know to call me. I've never missed a single important call ever since I stopped picking up the phone from random numbers.
- cynix 7y agoWhat do you do when you are actively trying to resolve something with your bank? Do you start answering calls from random numbers and risk letting a few spam calls through?
- godot 7y agoYeah. If I pick up and it's spam, I just hang up without saying anything. I just have to deal with it once or twice before I get the call I need.
