- jrootabega 4y agoMy post very deliberately meant to disagree with that. Hanging up is mutually exclusive with leaving a message. Important to you is unfortunately not the same as important to the caller. A car mechanic or doctor's office might make very little effort to contact you another way, and might wait hours or a day before even attempting to do so. And we have delivery drivers known for giving up on delivering your stuff even in ideal circumstances.
- antiframe 4y agoMy experience has been entirely positive. Every dentist, day care, plumber, doctor, car mechanic, etc whose call I was expecting has said a terse reason for calling like "Doctor So-and-so" or "X car mechanic your car is ready" or "day care please call". Of course I have no data for calls I wasn't expecting, but given that any call I am not expecting is usually a call to action to do business with them "hey, your car has X thousand miles, come for an oil change" or "your cleaning is coming up next week" or something like that. Basically, if I am expecting the call, I 100% get them. If I am not expecting the call, I got a lot of them or they use another method like text or email. I am not aware of any calls I am not expecting that I missed out on, but my fear of missing out unsolicited calls is pretty low. And I trust that for unsolicited calls, they are more about getting through than I care about getting through.
