It's a missed call from a # that's not in your contacts list.

Google said number, if it comes back as a cell phone then I probably am not going to call it back. If it is a business I 'll decide if I want to call back.




What is so important about the call anyways?

I don't understand people who never pick up or return calls if they don't know the number.

eta and answering the call flags your phone number as working so you'll get 10x as many spam messages tomorrow.

I doubt it's 100%, but at least you know. It's not like you are trapped if you answer. I just hang up if it's crap. Sometimes it's a random client,though, so it's no good not being scared of what's on the other end of a phone call.

I made the mistake of telling my dad and brother I hate getting voicemails years ago. To this day they always try to leave a message. It's usually, "hey this is your dad, I don't have anything to say but I know you hate voicemails so kiss my arse".

Just got a call from a random # and I didn't answer. Well I listened to the voicemail and it was the dentist's office reminding me about an appointment.

Not important in the grand scheme, but I surely forgot about the appointment. Wouldn't have been reminded if not for the voicemail. How would they have reminded me of it wasn't set up?

Did you get this in a chain email?

The unknown calls for me are usually split between wrong numbers, work, automated junk and people junk. I get maybe 2 a month. How many do you get?

I have voicemail set up for work.

If you call my cell phone and it's important...call me back again or text me. Otherwise, I'll get to you when I get to you.

for such a smart fella with an echo and all, you cant tell your phone 'set dentist appointment may 27 4pm' when you're checking out during the previous visit?

who the frick doesnt put appointments on their phone calendar? it literally takes 3 seconds.

Yes, I think there is a subconscious fear in people when they get unknown numbers. They don't want to have to deal with any potential uncomfortable situation.

They used to, along with a certain response to confirm. Don't know why they don't anymore.

maybe they are in need of a new cassette tape for their voicemail box.

The appointment was set six months ago, before I got the echo, dickface.

And I don't because they remind me. Plus my wife keeps all the important dates, I'm along for the ride.
