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.
0.1%
I wish I could charge people $100 an hour to speak to me over the phone.
Pretty much 100%, since i block all calls from unknown numbers.
Personal: 0% unless it is a call with a planned time.
Work: 0% unless it is an in-house number of my organization. Communication can occur via email, please and thank you.
Basically all of them.
A quick skim shows me that the only people who have called me this so far this year are:
- Doctor
- Dentist
- Sister
- Wife
- Close friend
I expect that this would be much the same for last year too.
I have no reason not to speak to any of these.
Must be nice not getting like 2-8 spam calls daily (no, that is not an exaggeration)
I’ve found if you accidentally take a spam call it can be fun to string them along and waste their time for a good 30m if you’ve got time to kill, the humour is great but it also gets you blacklisted for a while and they stop calling
I’ve had the same number for 24 years now. I have only ever had a handful of spam calls in total over that time.
I probably get one a month or so on my work number.
100℅ which is zero in the last 30 days
Almost all of the ones i dont miss
I also miss most of them so its not a high rate
I have an app that blocks scam/spam so irl I answer 100% but technically I only pickup 50%
I’ve run the gamut with these apps and none seem to really work I’ve even tried a few paid ones. These days, if you’re not in my contact list or you don’t provide caller ID, I don’t answer.
Nice try scammer! I know your tricks!
100% during work, 50% offwork depend on who they are. Tbh i wish i could not answer any phone call except friends and families.
This is part of why I straight up do not trust most “reliable polls”, because tons of them are still conducted via phone, and in the era of constant spam and caller ID, most people younger than boomers just don’t answer unknown numbers, and also don’t even have, and in fact have never paid for, a landline. Not to mention, I still have a west coast area code, and I live on the east coast, and most of my friends have area codes from wherever they grew up, not where they live now, so targeting by area code is often nonsense.
My phone has been on silent permanently for the last 2 decades, so I miss 90% of calls. Only answer when it’s a known contact and I’m actively looking at my phone.
All of them, but I’m also unemployed and looking for work. I can’t let me not answering my phone to be the reason I get passed over for a job. More often than not it’s a spam call but I can’t afford to let an opportunity for an interview go. It sucks, before this I would barely answer the phone for known contacts. If it can be said on the phone it can be said in text, in far fewer words too.
Close to 0%
3%. Mom, dad, and girlfriend. Anyone else nah.
