What percentage of phone calls (to your personal phone) do you answer? (fedia.io)

I'd say I'm hovering around the 60% mark.

I don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognise, unless it identifies someone I'm expecting a call from with the "maybe" thing. I don't use my phone for work (often). I don't call people to catch up, I'd rather IM. My mother or my best friend call and I ignore them more often than I probably should.

But really I just don't like talking on the phone that much.

99%. I just don't answer Anonymous calls because nothing good comes from that.

But there was a time where I could not even answer unknown numbers because I was in some kind of spam database and got 5-10 calls a day. It went on for weeks and they changed the number every time. Simply hitting decline didn't stop it. I ended up setting my phone to block all calls not in my contact list (while still looking into my caller list occasionally) and a few weeks later it stopped. Now I became more trustful again.

I don't get calls often anyways.
