Most people don't answer unknown calls anymore. They're likely to miss these life/death calls right now. That's why the PIN feature is better for most people--you can give a 5 digit PIN to loved ones. You may be an exception if you answer every call--I won't answer any call from an unknown number, and most young people don't answer unknown calls anymore. Seniors tend to answer more, but that's because they are more used to landlines and times when there were less robocalls. I'd rather make sure that my family can remember a 5 digit PIN (obviously there are lots of tricks to make numbers memorable) than answer every unknown call in my life.
- wrs 7y agoUntil this service becomes so popular that the robocallers start deliberately working around it, I think you may only need a 1-digit PIN. I've had a service from the phone company on my landline for decades that just makes an unknown caller dial a 1 before my phone will ring, and it continues to nearly eliminate spam calls. So the 1-digit PIN can just be a "1".
- davidajackson 7y agoRandomized "Enter X to be connected" with 0-9 is a feature several people have requested. I agree that you can probably cut most with just that.
