I’d say I’m hovering around the 60% mark.
I don’t answer calls from numbers I don’t recognise, unless it identifies someone I’m expecting a call from with the “maybe” thing. I don’t use my phone for work (often). I don’t call people to catch up, I’d rather IM. My mother or my best friend call and I ignore them more often than I probably should.
But really I just don’t like talking on the phone that much.
5%.
Close to 100% for known contacts.
Very close to 0% for unknown numbers.
Family/close friends/doctors: 95% (I only don’t if I’m in the toilet, at the doctor, or etc).
Unknown/unsolicited: 0%. If it’s important, leave a message or fuck right off.
Nearly 98% of my calls come from that last group, though, so basically never.
0.1%
I wish I could charge people $100 an hour to speak to me over the phone.
Personal: 0% unless it is a call with a planned time.
Work: 0% unless it is an in-house number of my organization. Communication can occur via email, please and thank you.
100%. I learnt the numbers 0-9 in Mandarin Chinese and I know how to cuss in Chinese to Chinese robocall scammers.
I also have a social sciences research background so I have no disincentive or misguided desire to respond with wrong data to polls either.
I also answer all calls I get and (usually) call back if they missed me. I actively gave my number to one or two research groups for polls. They call maybe twice per year, so it’s alright.
As for scammers, maybe 10% of calls are of that sort and so far I enjoy messing with them when they call.
