Just curious to see if anyone answers their cellphone when a number pops up thats not in your phonebook and looks unfamiliar. I personally don't and if it's real important they'll leave me a voicemail.
Do you ever answer a number thats not in your phonebook?
I do and I pretend to act like a Chinese woman. And if they leave a voice mail I'll call that back too, but just not say anything, and they will be all HELLO?! HELLO?!
My cell is also my work phone, so I usually do. It kinda sucks when it turns out to be someone I don't want to talk to. That's the price I pay for not having a phone bill.
Yes. I also add junk calls to my phonebook so I can give them a separate ringtone. That way I know not to answer. Automating bastards...
Yeah if it's a 1-800 number I don't pick up, if it's someone else's cell I don't see why I wouldn't answer.
I usually will answer the phone if its a number I don't recognize but in my local area code.
That said, if I ever get the impression I'm being sold something or scammed, I have no hesitation to just hang up on whatever poor sap called me mid-sentence.

Of course, a contacts battery may be down and them calling on another line may be the only means of contacting you. I simply have a formal tone when answering, that's all.
Sure don't. If they know who I am, they can leave a voicemail and I'll call them back.
I did until that whole car warranty bot thing happened (I got like 10 calls from them...). Even though that's all over with I'm still afraid to answer unknown numbers.
Yeah, Why wouln't I? I get a phone call, I answer it, that's kinda what a phone is for. Usually it's just some guy in a call centre trying to get me to buy stuff, and I just tell them to piss off, but if I didn't answer it, they'd try to phone back every day for a few days. And then they'd try again next month. And then again in X amount of time. If you don't answer and tell them you're not interested, your number stays in their system and they'll keep calling. If you answer, and tell them where they can stick their *insert whatever they're selling here*, then they won't call back. And it would be bloody annoying if all these companies kept calling me all the time.
I would pick up my phone even if it was a rapist. You never know what will happen if you pick up an unknown caller.
