So I'm an introverted millennial who started working for himself a couple months back. It is SO HARD to answer calls from unknown numbers with no warning. I'm just chilling and BOOM stranger on the phone.

I'm adjusting, but I live in terror of the day the spam calls start back up and I can no longer just ignore them.

I haven't picked up the phone from a random call in 15 years.

My wife, who is an on-call medical professional, used to pick up every single call. Only in new hospital do they allow it to go to voicemail/text message. But her call log is like 95% spam calls.

I fix that problem by forgetting to turn off Do Not Disturb mode. Also works wonders for blocking all of the calls you do want to take.

I get a ton of sales calls especially after attending conferences and I usually ignore calls coming from another state. Some of them realize it though and let a local rep call instead, and I usually pick up because it might be important.
