just got a new smart phone yesterday - telemarketers ( I assume) don't waste any time calling new numbers. I did not answer as I did not recognize the location or the number. I get at least 5 or 6 calls a day on my land line and never pick up unknown numbers. What a nuisance!
calls my cell too & it's been on the DNC list for years, plus I give it out to very few people.
I just don't answer any # I don't have a clue about -- if it's a "real" call they'll leave a message -- and my real friends know my proper contact number anyway.
