I ignore all calls I don't know. I've never had a billing issue that didn't go into physical mail first. I don't have any plans to take time to receive calls from the government, they will absolutely mail you. They want 100% of the money if they can get it, they don't want to send you to collections; where they're only going to get a cut of the original sum.
It might just be me.. but phones are the ultimate in "false urgency" that our society foists on people.
Meanwhile.. it's 2022 and there's no way for me to give an "emergency code" or authorization to people I know which gives them the ability to ring me directly with some kind of emergency flag or icon showing on the call screen itself. That's baffling.
- LanceH 4y agoMy physical mail situation is far worse than my phone situation. I missed one bill apparently and got sent to collections. It was from some place that demands that payment be made in full during the visit, so I probably thought it was just junk at the time.
- supertrope 4y agoMy desk phone is logged into a SIP VoIP provider that does allow very powerful rules. I can create a phone menu and provide each contact with an extension that must be dialed to ring through. But nothing like that is available for my cellphone. So I ignore all unknown callers.
