Do you answer phone calls from unknown numbers or do you let them go to voicemail first?

Never answer, and don’t set up voicemail either.

It has been wonderful keeping my Chicago-region phone number since moving to Missouri. Almost all of the junk calls come “from” Chicago area codes. If I get a call from my local area code, I will usually answer it because it’s most likely real (I’ve had one junk call in 3 years).

I use a call blocker. If your not in my contact list you go directly to vm, no ring, no notifications, maybe I’ll listen to the vm.
