One problem here is that by answering at all, you're confirming your phone number as one with a real live person on the end. They track this and will keep calling. Anecdotally I noticed after I stopped picking up, the number of calls I was getting decreased.
- Jarwain 6y agoI like to pick up and immediately hit mute. If they say something, maybe I reply, but typically the spam callers just hang up after a few seconds. I read somewhere that picking up but not saying anything can take you off the rotation or something
- sk5t 6y agoI've done the same for a span of a couple months--immediate mute, no interaction. It didn't seem to make a difference one way or other other though with regard to call frequency.
- Moru 6y agoIt's just a machine calling. If you pick up and make a sound, you will be immediatelly connected to a person. If no person is available it will just drop the call and call again later. Only way is to not answer.
