    I dont answer withhelds or private numbers - there normally BANKS ARRRRGGGGH or credit card companies or people trying to sell you things you dont want!

    I would try n witheld your number and ring it back see what happens when you answer it. Although i get scared doing this but its the only way - the suspense of not knowing kills me!

    I have to admit I normally avoid answering unknown numbers, especially when I know I am behind with payments!

    You missunderstood my post. Its an unknown number ringing me on my mobile.

    I have always and will continue to disregard unknown numbers. Why should i change my ways just for one. The voicemail states I will never answer unknown numbers.

    Apologies webdesigner your right I misunderstood.

    I think I would still answer it though just to get rid of them:o
