Are you saying that you answer every call that comes to your phone?

I only do that with my cell phone. I only give my cell number to those
that
I want to talk to. Every other place that requires a phone number gets my
home phone number.

Not every call, but it only takes a couple of seconds to answer most
times. If it is a robo call or such, I simply hang up. Every once in
a while though, we get a call from an unrecognized number and the call
is one that we would want to take.

Just yesterday, I was a "wireless caller" and number I never saw. Had
I ignored it, my 3 yards of crushed stone would not have been
delivered. It was the driver. Another number a week or so ago was
about a medical test my wife took.

Right now, the phone is inches away from me. Not a big deal to answer
a couple of times a week.

In my case, I boght a cheap trac-phone for a cell phone. We don't use the
cell for much.
When I first got it I discovered that while the calller ID number was
displayed correctly but the name that showed was "wireless caller". I tried
to get it changed to my name but that was an exercise in futility.
