You're a lot more patient than me. I've stopped answering calls from unknown numbers. I get 3-4 calls per day, which luckily I can auto-ignore on iOS.

- toomuchtodo 4y agoMake sure your voicemail provides a verbal escalation path for a loved one who needs to reach you from an unknown number (first responder, jail, hospital, etc).
- JTbane 4y agoYeah, no, this works great until you get an actually important call from a previously unknown number (hospital, job interview, etc.)
- mahkeiro 4y agoThey can leave a message or text. I have been doing this for years as this is the only way to be able to use a phone line without getting crazy. If your number is not in my phonebook you go to my voicemail.
- throwaway98797 4y agoonly problem i have is with deliver or restaurant reservations so i unpause the silence during that time the hospital is def an issue, i don’t have a great solution there especially for unplanned emergencies.
- sneak 4y agoAnyone who calls me versus emailing/texting is not getting to me, full stop.
- supertrope 4y agoThat is a cost I will accept. I used to get about 3 robocalls per day, or 1000 robocalls for every legitimate unknown caller. There is a fundamental tradeoff between optimizing for minimizing false positives or false negatives.
