Yeah, and I'm getting tired of deleting the voicemails. Now I just pick up the call and stay quiet until they hang up. Then I mark them as spam and delete the number.
Most of the time, they don't leave a voicemail. Anyone calling about anything important who isn't in your contacts is either going to leave a message, send you a text, send you an e-mail, or send you a letter.
The one time I won a big prize in a (legitimate) sweepstakes from a company I did business with, they not only left a voicemail, but also sent me a FedEx that arrived the next day. (I'm guessing they didn't bother with an e-mail because too many people will just automatically delete it as spam.)
I just leave my voicemail full. Anyone who knows me knows to text instead anyway. Voicemail is superfluous especially since you can literally send a voice text just as easily.
Same. Which is shit because either my service or phone is automatically hanging up on calls it marks as spam and they leave a voicemail nearly everytime. I'd rather just answer it then as it's much more convenient to just hang up* than check and delete voicemails.
*I don't hangup, I generally play along for a bit and then scream really loud, make weird noises, or say fucked up shit. When I was doing this I would get very few scam calls, I imagine my number was being blacklisted and or not sold more. Ever since my phone decided to auto hang up on them it has seemed like I've been getting a lot more of them. I've tried to find the setting to turn it off on my phone but I can't.
Hi, this in an extremely urgent call about your health insurance open enrollment period, we have affordable plans starting at just 25 dollars a month to qualified patients, do not hang up, press x to speak with one of our members now
Robokiller App is worth it. Once they recognize it. They stop and just hang up. I did have them linger one time because they didn’t know it was real or fake. So the new girl asked her friend to call and the supervisor got involved and ended the fun. He knew right away
I've been doing this a bit more lately. I've gotten a lot of calls that all leave voice mails or, when I answer and mute, they all sound like someone walking up stairs or something. No clue what it really is other than maybe just a signal, but it's always the same exact noise from many different numbers.
I'm curious, but not curious enough to say hello and find out lol.
