Unknown Name Unknown Number

Am I the only one who refuses to answer the phone when it says that? It makes me cringe. If you're too important to show me who's calling, I'm too important to answer.

Nope, same here.

My mobile is for MY convenience...not that of anyone else.

I always have it muted...and never even know if/when someone calls. I check it periodically and call or text back if it's someone I want to converse with....ignore it if not.

That's all fine and good. But, what about the question I asked?

If a person or business feels the need to hide their name or number from caller ID, I have no need to talk to them, especially a business. If I need to get in contact with a business, I will call them. If they're calling me, 99% of the time it's an unsolicited call to try and sell me shit I don't want.

I answered...I don't answer the mobile....unknown name/unknown number or not.

People who respond to every little chirp or flashing light of their mobile are annoying.

In the US, most "unknown" callers are telemarketers or political campaigns. So yeah, ignoring them is pretty much standard procedure.

I ignore them on my cell. Land line is set up to not accept blocked numbers. Have to dial *82 to unmask your number before calling my house.

Me too.

I also don't answer the phone if its just a number I dont recognize

I answer them, but only because my mobile is my business number.

I also answer UN/UN because my husband's ship number either comes through UNUN or some random 25 digit number.
