Xplorer Report post Posted June 13, 2012 I have developed a habit that if I don't know the number, I don't answer and if it's important it goes to voicemail. I recently got a call from someone, I could not understand in an area code I recognized. I asked him who he was when he asked for me by name. I could not understand his response or who he represented. I told him, I don't know you and hung up. It's my phone. I talk to whom I choose. I blocked future calls from that number which will go directly to voicemail. Any bets that they ever leave a message? I have not received a return call from that number, yet! I sure like the blocked call to voicemail feature on these smarter than me phones. I have blocked over half a dozen numbers, so when they call They get to talk to the Hand.

A good rule of thumb for us all to follow: ignore the incoming call/email, then initiate contact with who the caller/mailer claims to be on our own by the means we always use.
