Why do you answer the phone?

Anyone who I want to talk to has my mobile number - and I reject anyone I don't want to talk to.

You're welcome - sometimes the simple answers work.

Why would you not answer the phone? If it's someone I don't want to talk to, I just hang up. Otherwise there'd barely be any point in me even having a phone.

You can: 1. Tell them the person they are trying to reach is dead. That sometimes stops things.
2. Blow a whistle down the phone at them - not always practical, but it will concentrate their minds.
3. Ask them to hold and then wander off and do something more interesting instead.
4. Fill in every junk mail request and call back service you can find using thier details. It won't help you specifically, but it might make you smile to think of all the time they will be wasting getting stuff sorted out every day.

I pretended that they had just rung a crime scene where the person they were trying to reach was dead! Went into all that spiel about how they needed to give their name and address, etc! Lol, Don't think they brought into it that easily though!

The point of having the phone is so I can call people.

I've also been called, told them I wasn't interested and haven't heard back.

Not like the constant "in debt" texts

Lucky you! I had another 2 missed calls off the number yesterday

I also know what you mean about the "in debt" texts, I rang my mobile provider and got all the numbers blocked, I also reported them to ICO as they shouldnt have my details, it did wonder's! However I cant seem to get rid of these pains in the ****! They just cant seem to take a hint....one missed phone call as of this morning !

I only answer calls from numbers I know

I've just had a call from these. I dont know how these people get our numbers. Next time though I will definitely say that said person has died and then cry really loudly down the phone :D
