Default Do you answer your phone?

All in the title tbh...

I barely answer my phone, if its an unknown number I instantly block it.

When its a number I know I normally let it go to answer machine then call back when I can be bothered lol if its one of my family like a sibling they are so used to me ignoring the phone that they text after it and say 'answer the bloody phone'

Only people that do get answered straight away is my husband, bosses or my dads doctors

If it's a private number I respect the callers privacy and don't answer. If its a number I don't know I google it, then block it. My dad only ever one bells me anyway so I ring him back when I see him. Mist of my other communication with.people is done via messenger and whatsapp so I'm quite quick with them. If its a friend ringing rather than message I usually answer as it would normally be important.....or some scandal than they don't want to put on a message lol

Never if it is blocked or a random number.

I tend to not bother answering the house phone either, the calls are never for me and we have 4 handsets around the house so someone else is bound to be by one who the call is for

If I’m really occupied, then I’m not going to pick the phone up, and call them later if I think they are important, the same formula for my free time as well...


Will never answer anyone with an “Unknown” caller ID...

If I hear it I do, but I always have it on silent and never feel the vibrations, so I usually miss it

If it's a known number or a local number then yes. Unknown numbers nah. It's usually a robot telling me that I've been in a car crash.

The house phone is rarely even plugged in, we only really have a land-line for broadband .

Mobile is stuck in the back of a drawer somewhere.
House phone has a blocker on so I tend not to get unwelcome calls.
Answer it if it's in reach.

Always Unknown numbers especially or I'll spend the day wondering who it was unless it's an odd looking foreign number then I block it

I answer the house phone.

If it’s my phone I rarely answer unless it’s a close friend or my mum/dad.

I only use my mobile for work. I use the landline at home because I don't get a signal where I live, so the decision is taken out of my hands. I hate chatting on the phone anyway.

Not really.

I either miss it because my phone is on silent or if I see it, I wait for them to leave a message and if it's important I'll ring them back. If not, I text them when I can.
