What percentage of phone calls (to your personal phone) do you answer? - eviltoast

I’d say I’m hovering around the 60% mark.

I don’t answer calls from numbers I don’t recognise, unless it identifies someone I’m expecting a call from with the “maybe” thing. I don’t use my phone for work (often). I don’t call people to catch up, I’d rather IM. My mother or my best friend call and I ignore them more often than I probably should.

But really I just don’t like talking on the phone that much.

    Probably 20-30%. I don’t answer calls from different area codes than mine

      I’m in the opposite camp - never answer calls from area codes same as mine. Scammers now target numbers with same area code as the one they’re spoofing. If also the first 3 digits after the area code match too, that’s an even higher chance of a scam.

        I don’t have the same area code as the area I live in so it’s pretty simple to weed spam calls out
