Yes, I don't answer in the first place. My phone may as well not have the "phone" feature, I think I use it less than once per month.
- Aromasin 3y agoI have a rule that I don't pick up unless I already have them in my contacts. If they're not and they need to contact me, they can text me or send me an email, and I'll call back.
- zirgs 3y agoHow do you handle deliveries then?
- yamtaddle 3y agoIs this an apartment thing? I don't receive calls for deliveries. US, live in a house.
- zirgs 3y agoYeah, delivery men usually call to ask if anyone is at home.
- Aromasin 3y agoNever received a call for delivery, other than take out food which I'm expecting a call from. That would be an edge case.
- dkjaudyeqooe 3y agoPeople are outraged when I tell them I have no phone in my house that rings. I'm outraged by the idea of people responding to phone rings like Pavlov's dogs.
- pnpnp 3y agoWhat about the case where a doctor’s office calls, then you have to call back, navigate the menus, stay on hold, then get sent to voicemail & they call back n hours later? This is a really common scenario for me, so I have to leave the ringer on to avoid it.
- mrguyorama 3y agoI can send my doctor and hospital a message through a web portal in just a minute, and it works just fine.
- pnpnp 3y agoMy doctor has no web portal :(
- dkjaudyeqooe 3y agoTurning on your ringer is like staying home waiting for the cable man. It makes total sense. If you are always in this kind of situation all the time (on Android) you can star certain contacts and set those to ring. I do that for certain friends.
- pnpnp 3y agoUnfortunately, it seems like my hospital has a pool of SIP numbers that get round-robin’ed. I was never able to whitelist them all.
- standardUser 3y agoI haven't had a phone in my house, or on my person, that makes any noise or vibrates for many years now. Honestly I find it rude when a phone makes any noise whatsoever.
