Suppose one night,you are watching a movie with your whole family,suddenly a missed call comes to your phone...
I know you would call if it's a known number..
But would you call back if it's a unknown number??

If it's an unknown caller and they didn't leave a message on my voicemail then, no, I don't call back. I hate the very thought of asking whoever answers on the other end, "Did someone just call me?". If it's important whoever it was will call back.

If I get a missed call and it's a known number, I would send a text message to the number. Normally it's family who calls or miss calls. But if it's an inkown number, I would not dare call back but sometimes I send a text message so she/he will call again, that is if my phone is loaded LOL

really some people have an rule or habit that when they have got an miscall from unknown number than they always give call to them but really its an bad habit because you are wasting your money in just finding out that whose miscall it was and really its not an good thing because if someone want to talk to you than he will cal you back so in my opinion you should not call back when you got miscall from someone whom you don't know

No I will not call back if it was a unknown number as I would assume that someone had got the wrong number unless they leave a message saying who they are and why they are calling. Not so much on my home phone but on my mobile phone I tend to ignore the number if it comes up unknown.

Haha I thought this was a trick question at first and I still kind of do. On my phone when somebody calls and they block their number, sometimes it will show up as UNKNOWN CALLER. So if someone called ME on unknown, I wouldn't be able to call them back because I wouldn't have a number to call back lol. But if you mean perhaps if you just didn't recognize the number then no, I would not call back. I have had some very strange conversations when I call back to see who it is lol. If it's important then they will leave me a voice message, and if I'm with my family then I most definitely will not answer an unknown phone number. The only time I ever answer unknown phone numbers is if I am not busy or with my friends, and I also dislike having to call and say, "Yea somebody just called my phone and I just wanted to know who it is," only to get a weird response like, "Well who are you looking for?" Lol that usually doesn't make sense because they called me first right?! :)

For me, I rarely answer my phone if its a number I don't recognize if I'm doing something. I tend to ignore it even if I can pick it up unless I'm on the computer or something that I'm not going to be bothered with if it happens to me a telemarketer or something stupid along those lines.
To me - if someone really needs to get in touch with me and I'm not answering my phone and its important enough for me to call them back, they are going to leave me a message. And if its a friend or someone I meet more than likely I'm going to get a text message afterwards.
Now when I'm home from school if it says unknown number we don't answer because that does mean its a telemarketer but anything else we tend to because we have a home business - but we don't return calls without a message either.

i'll deffinately call back.
most times some one may be out of credit, and decided to use a friends phone.
sometimes, it's a person that needs help that u could esily assist.
on the other hand, it's a stupid person, who either missed typed a number, or just made urs up.
it's silly.

hihi...
usually i will call back even if it is an unknown number..
because you never know if that call was an important call..
but sometimes i did not bother to call back..because just did not feel like to..
but sometimes i call back, and no one answer at all..even though i tried to call a few time..it can be quite frustrating..
but anyway, usually i will call back those missed calls
=)
