Do you attend each and every call that comes on your cellphone? Or are you selective while picking up the calls on your cellphone? Do you think is it safe to pick up everyone's call on the cellphone?
I avoid picking up the numbers which are unknown to me and that too especially when I am alone. What is your call on this!!!

I also tend to avoid answering my phone when I don't recognize the number.
Sometimes if I am busy or simply do not feel like chatting I will not answer.
I prefer to send text messages because many times I am just not in the mood to talk.

If I don't know the number, i don't answer. If its important they will leave a message and I can call them back. I don't think its dangerous to answer the call as long as you don't give them any information about you until you know who it is. I've found that most of my unknown numbers are either people trying to sell stuff or people who got the wrong number so its mostly harmless (or annoying if they want you to buy their product).

I do not answer every call that comes in on my cell phone. I screen calls and only answer those that I want/feel like talking to. I probably get 9 - 10 calls daily. I answer 1 or 2 of those calls. The rest go to voice mail...and no, I don't check the voice mail. I let it get old and delete itself.

I'm not sure why it would be unsafe, or why you wouldn't want to pick up a call when you were alone if the number weren't known to you. Its not like they can see you when they are calling. But I don't answer every call that comes in to my cell, not only do I not want to answer the call if I don't know the caller, I don't want the charges associated with using the minutes if its not someone I want to speak with.

I always answer all the calls on my phone even they are not on my phone book. Coz my family doesn't own a personal phone they just borrow or call from payphone so call me. And if someone calls me and i just having a good time i just hang up and ignore that number again.
Happy posting.

I actually consider a phone (any phone) an intrusion. I would not just answer the door if someone was knocking saying "I want to speak to you!"
I rarely answer the phone at all, unless I am expecting a call. I have too many "acquaintances" who think they can ring me day or night and just chatter away, I just dont have the time for that. For me the phone is a tool, not a coffee shop.
If its important they will ring back, if I want to talk to them I will call them back.

Hello dropofrain! Well, I do picked up everyone who will call on phone whether it's unknown or not. I just don't want to miss any important calls. Besides, I have my husband and relatives who live on the other country and when they call me, sometimes it appeared as unknown number.

Yes,I attend every call comes to my cellphone,first i will see who is calling ,bcoz i stored many numbers in my cell phones,so first i check who is calling and then i pick the call .Even though any new person call me also i will attend the call ,bcoz the cell phone is only for that reason.I think we should not avoid any call that comes to our cell phones ,Bcoz some of your friends or relatives may call you for any emergency reason .So it is always better to attend all the calls.Bye Happy mylotting.

I will only pick it up if the caller is in my phone book. If it is not available in the phone book, I usually let it ring off. Yes, it might be dangerous to pick up unknown phone calls. I have often heard the rip off via phone calls. Many has become the victims. They lost their money.
