Depends on the area code. Unless maybe I'm expecting it, from a job recruiter or something like that, I don't know anybody with no 900 or no 888 number. What I DON'T answer are blocked numbers. If you feel you can't show your number, then I feel you're not worth talking to.

Generally, no. I only use a cell & don't have unlimited minutes so I'm not going to waste them on wrong numbers & telemarketers.

Area code is key for me too. And absolutely no 900 or 888's for me either.

Try registering here. It's really helped cut down on a lot of the telemarketers.

Have to with the business...if it's 'out of area' that's usually telemarketers, but we still answer it on the offchance it's somebody important.

At least 50% of the time I let unrecognized numbers go to voice mail and then immediately check it. If it was someone important, they should have left a message and I'll immediately call back.

I don't answer any 888 numbers. But if I see it is an area code in which I know someone in the area, then I do.

888 #'s tend to be bill collectors, solicitors, or just someone in an office; I never answer those. Otherwise, I'm not that phobic about unrecognizable number. I will usually answer them, depending on what I'm doing, where I'm at and what kind of mood I'm in.

For the most part, I just mute the ringer and carry on. If it's an area code I recognize, I'll sometimes pick it up, but it depends. I tend to ignore "unknown caller" IDs but will sometimes pick up "private caller".
