At least in Western Europe, there is near zero chance you’ll get an unexpected call from any of those. Either you’re the one calling, or updates will be sent via email / message / WhatsApp / some specialized app. Probably another efficiency consequence of human labor being insanely expensive.
- maccard 6y agoI'm in the UK, and my dentist and doctor both communicate by phone, including appointment reminders. The garage I use has a website but no email, and they call if you're waiting on a part (not exactly unexpected but close enough). My car insurance and home insurance and bank (much to my dismay) all semi-regularly phone me, each of the ones Ivr listed I've had an unplanned phone call from in the last 6-12 months
