> ... I get irate at people who don't answer calls from unknown numbers. Spam or soliciting? Hang up and block caller. It doesn't take more than 5 seconds. I'd like for you to spend a day at my grandmother's house. She's had the same landline number for probably 50 years and gets - no kidding -- probably 20 of these calls a day. It may not "take more than 5 seconds" but it gets real f'in' annoying real f'in' quick. She now only answers calls from numbers she recognizes. She will pick up if you yell at her on the answering machine, though! Also, as of iOS 13 (or whenever it was they introduced the feature), I am -- thankfully -- no longer even aware of calls or text messages from numbers that aren't in my contacts until I pick up my phone and look. My phone doesn't beep, ring, or ding if I receive a call or text from an "unknown number" -- and I could not be happier about that!
