I probably answer 25% of the time and I’d say 75% of the time it’s a robo-call
if it’s an 800 number I’m probably not answering unless I’m expecting a call from an agency or something
also don’t answer any calls that look to be spoofed (same area code and prefix which nobody else I know has)
Out of state area code probably not answering
local area codes I’ll take a chance
Also with work phone even if I think it’s legitimate I rarely answer because I don’t want to be blindsided

I get a lot of robocalls and RE marketing spam calls.
I input everyone into my phone, even if its the owner of a home I'm showing.
I don't answer it unless there is a name 98% of the time. I answered two this week that were in my area code, thinking they might be calls on my listing. Nope. Robo.
I instruct everyone to leave a message and I'll get right back to them, and if you've never called me before, please leave me your info or text me.
It's worked very well for five years.

If you aren't in my contact list, I'm not answering. If you aren't and you don't leave a message, I won't answer next time your number shows up either. It has served me well. Never missed an important call.

I recently switched to T-Mobile from AT&T. Honestly, the AT&T service was mediocre and I haven’t noticed any real drop in performance, with my bill being $60 less a month.
I mention this bc on the first day I switched, I noticed something awesome on T-Mobile. On a lot of random numbers the caller ID says “scam likely.” I love that feature.

This and honestly even if you are I don’t answer it 50% of the time. I hate talking on the phone.

As for the robocall I answered less than 10% but that’s just a guess because I don’t answer them.

Have this feature on ATT. Works great.
Still get a ton that aren't marked as SPAM. Also have been getting a fee lately that leave messages. Those piss me off because since they left a message I worry it was legit.

I take a LOT of calls.
Even so I'm inclined to say I don't answer them unless recognized.
Or perhaps more accurately I've come to recognize robocalls. I get up to a dozen a day.

I never saw it on AT&T. My service was meh with them and no difference on T-Mobile. I’m happy I made the switch. I kinda dislike AT&T as a brand anyways.

I'll give them two shots before the block but that's because I deactivated voicemail, which was a fantastic decision.

I got a new phone earlier this year and it was on the phone. Works through an app.
My app is called 'AT&T Call Protect'.

It's made my voicemail box irreverent.

I don’t answer my phone unless they are in my contact list. Out of State and no message is an instant-block. I’ll google “local” phone numbers and block accordingly (which is most times). Clearly it’s not important if you aren’t leaving a message.

Also if I get an actual phone call from one of my friends I assume someone died or is in jail

There are quite a few apps for android that will ID spam calls. Some are better than others. Pretty easy to find the reviews. So if you phone company doesn't provide one, they are easy enough to get.

I picked up the phone a year or two ago. My friend: "Holy ####. You picked up."
Of course I did, friend. You called and were in my contact list.
This has gotten absurd. It's like Miss Manners and calling cards just to talk.
Miss Manners, by the way, was not a fan of the telephone.

It's mostly practice, but if you can get your old lady to wear a bowl and a reading lamp on her head, it's easier.

If I'm having the sechs with Mrs. Servo, not even a volcanic eruption is going to interrupt me.
