is it necessary to respond to miss call???

I always call back...I don't think spam happens that much with phone calls especially cell phones. I am looking for a job so often something will call me that came from a random number. I think it is safe to call back. In fact I like getting them, it's like a element of surprise!

Hello my friend riyasam Ji, I think, you are absolutely right. But how do we negotiate such a situation, where people like my hubby never keeps any cell phone and may call me only from some PCO and taht I would not recognise (as it is I do not have abny cell myself). We have only BSNL land-line. So I would at least respond 'hello' and in case of un-recognised voice I will not continue further. May god bless You and have a great time.

I generally do not respond to miss call if I do not know the number. It has happened to me several time.I think few people just do timepass like this.

Riya! HI! It is not at all necessary to respond to a missed call, specially when it is an unknown or unstored number. I have observed that sometimes it so happens when I call back the number, from which the missed call came, I am plainly told 'sorry, the call was made inadvertently'. Therefore, I have made it a rule not to respond or call back to unknown numbers. If the person is really serious in talking to me, s/he should call me back again.

I usually call back when I receive a miss call even if the number is an unknown one. But I avoid calling back to unknown mobile numbers from my landline because I do not want everyone to know my landline number.

firstly must say ur killer on mylot...fabulous topics/great mind.. yes, what i belive if someone call you and if you don't pick phone by some reason you must call him/her back..may be he/she need u urgently..

I do not have the habit of returning a missed call though I recognise the courtesy to do it. I only return a missed call only if the number is familiar or someone I know. Any unknown numbers, too bad. I just give it a miss unless the person calls back again and again.

Hi Riya, I was also wondering with the same question. If I got any miss call and number is unknown for me then I may least bothered. If the person is genuine and who knows me definitely will call me again, I think this way. If the number is known then I make a call. But you know my hubby; he is making call to the caller and asking ‘I got a miss call from this number, who are you?’ I asked him why you are giving importance to these calls. My brother is also like him, and the funny thing is he is in aboard and if he got a miss call from India definitely he calls back to the number and asks who calls him. And I am the one who took advantage of this character (lol) you know how, when I got the new mobile and number I made a miss call to him I knew that definitely he calls back and later I got a call from him.

I do the same. I usually send an SMS on missed calls asking them about the reason why they call up. I often received a lot of missed calls since I have a website for our training center and usually some people call me for information about the training. There are time that I am not able to answer the call when I am conducting my class. So often, I follow up on those missed calls. But if the one calling me is someone I know, I will call them back the moment I get the chance.

I mostly just ignore missed calls known or not. Let me elaborate on that. These are the top reasons in uitlizing missed calls: 1. We(my friends and I) only use missed calls as to get attention when I or they took more than 5 hours(or an agreeable amount of time) of not responding to the messages especially when there is a hot topic of conversation. Maybe because one fell asleep or there was a delay in messages due to the network. 2. Whenever we're saving on load credits and are not registered to any text promos. We miss call the other which is the same as asking 'where are you? Im at the meeting place already.' It would be up to the other to respond by either looking for someone they know who has load and text using that number with the owners' permission. 3. A missed call would be a warning to the other person who might be busy/in a meeting that the one who gave the missed call would be really calling after 5-10minutes. With these reasons, an unknown number sending a missed call without the accompaniment of an sms message stating their identity and purpose would be a prank call or those users who are just making sure that the number is in use, in hopes of becoming 'text pals' in the future.

Well,if I can sense that the caller is a sales agent, obviously, I will not return the call. I will not call back but if I suspect that the call might be something important, I will check. It might be somebody or a friend whose number is not on my list and he has a n important message. I would make sure I know.

I do call back if i know whose number is this & if I want to talk to the person at that time.I also call back when I am not sure about whose number is this but if i realize that it is a known number.otherwise i just think that if its important to talk to me for the one,who is calling,he/she must call me.why should I make a call to respond.

I have done the same with you.Sometimes if it is a unknown number,I won't respond.I think if she/he really wants to connect me,she/he will call me again.Now there are so many cheating things,I have to keep alert.

For me, if the number displayed is an unknown number to me, I will not call back. I will also not send a text message as well. I believe that if the person is looking for me urgently, he/she will call back again. I'm quite skeptical on returning call to unknown numbers because my number is a recycled number (which means it was previously used by someone else who had terminated the number since for more than 6 months). I had received a few phone calls looking for someone I do not know, but yet they did call the right number... Of course, there are those who had actually dialed the number wrongly to me instead of their friend. I will say that there is no right or wrong way. If you believe in returning missed call, I will say it's also not wrong... It all depends on individuals way of thinking and belief.

If I don't know the number and I am not expecting a call from a certain area then I don't call back. If they have left a message on my voicemail explaining who they are, what they want and what number to reach them on, then I will call back to them. Otherwise I am not wasting my money on calling them back. It's a small effort to leave a message, and if they don't want to do that and they really need me they are bound to call back sometime soon. I used to think differently, but after some time I realized that if people really need you they will call you back, e-mail you or leave a message.

No, not necessary. If I know someone who missed call me, I will definitely call them back or send them a message, but to those numbers that are not reflected on my phone book are being snob, LOL. Of course. For me, it is necessary to send me a message first that they will call me and introducing themselves before anything else. Or if their called are not being answered by me, they should send me a message after.

hi, i don't have call waiting nor do i text. i do have an answering machine but being home most of the time i get most of my calls. have a happy day tomorrow.

If it's someone I know like my parents, siblings and friends I wouldn't hesitate to return their call. But if it's someone whom I don't know, I would rather text them first and ask who they are. I've had an experience before that someone kept on calling my number and by the time I answered it he said "Can we talk? I just needed someone to talk to." I refused because I dunno how that is... x.x

I think you are doing right thing. When I am receiving miss call from known number than I am calling back that number and talk further why that person was calling on the other hand if it is unknown number then I will also give him some miss calls. So that if that person really want to talk to me then can call me back. It sometimes looks weird but it is working for me.

i used to call bsck even when i didn't know the no. but i don't now if it is important they will call back is what i think, we got to many weired Os now.
