Have got some annymous calls before and I just tell them where to get off at, because I cant stand it..But I have never been threaten before so I would probably just laugh at that.

I don't pick them up anymore but sometimes, I do expect some calls and I am not sure if the caller's ID will be showed and that's when I would pick up some weird calls. No one has ever threatened me before but even if they start saying something bad on the other side of the phone, I would yell at them right there. These people are just trying that for fun or they know you and dislike you. So I am not scared by any of those. Besides, I don't pick up anonymous call 99% of the time and they have no way to bother me. But I wish that we could block the anonymous calls somehow, it's getting too many from the telesales.

I have never got any anonymous call. I do not that threats always get people frustrated, but what I will do when threatened is, go on my knee and pray to God first before taking any actions. Thanks

I just don't answer the phone if I don't know the number that it is coming from. I think caller ID is one of the best technological advances ever. And if the person wants to leave me a threatening message then they deserve to get whatever will be coming to them when I report it.

Yes I am always getting them, unfortunately I have to answer them though as my ex always rings on anonomous, which really annoys me but he is also my daughters father, have never been threatened from oe though, usually it's the ex or someone trying to sell me something. In the uk we have soemthing called tps barring and also you can opt for a message to come up if an anonamous person calls you requesting that they take the number barring off or they will not be put through as you do not accept witheld calls, to my knowledge this is only on house phones, if continuously getting these calls I would contact the police as they7 take matters such as these very seriously.

If someone calls and doesn't say anything, I usually just hang up. I've never had anyone call me and threaten me before but if I did, I would probably call the cops if it was something real serious.

l abort them. ls malicious hiding your number,but sometimes is the fault of the caller eg. it might be the phone owner is ignorant about such features , as to disable it , or is a network thing ,for instance when my mum travelled for pilgrimage , she called me and the caller identity was showing 'no number' , you know. lf l hadn't picked such an important call it would have been my regrets then. But on the other hand,malicious folks do this eg. the fraudster.

When a call on my call display shows up as anonymous, I just ignore it. Sometimes I'll see "private name" but I'll recognize the number. If and when that happens, I will answer, because I know, by the number, who is calling.

I just cut the call without saying anything because anything we say will make them respond in even worse fashion so the moment I realize it is a crank call I ptdown the phone. Don't give them the satisfaction of an answer, just ignore.

I usually answer all call to my cellphone, but if came from someone anonymous or anoying I just hang up, and add to block call number software on my cellphone and never think about it. simple as that :)
