Well in my case - I don't answer it at all. Everyone That calls me, will show up as it's in my phone book on the phone. I have gotten alot of wrong numbers - which don't always show the numbers. I'm bad with cell phones anyway.

Of course, if all you wanted to do was to leave a voicemail in the first place, she's probably wondering why you didn't just dial into your voice mailbox and tell it you wanted to send a message, thereby avoiding the ring on her phone completely.

I've not heard of that option for sending to someone's voicemail. I don't have that info on her phone. How would one do that?

I have Verizon Wireless. When I dial into my voice mailbox, it first prompsts me for my password. After that, it tells me if I have any new messages, then asks me to punch in a 1 to listen to messages or punch in a 2 to send a message. Then there may be some other options after that, but I never get beyond 1 or 2. If I want to send a message, I punch in the 2 and it will ask for phone #... punch in the phone number and record the message and hit send. It goes directly to the recipient's VM and gives them a ringy-dingy to tell them they have a new voicemail.

Thanks! I have VW too and didn't even think about that option. Even then I would've thought it only went to other VW phones. Good to know!

Our realtor in MI doesn't show on caller ID.

Most of our doctors/dentists, etc do not show in caller ID.

99% of the calls I get are legitimate calls so I answer if I can get to it in time.

However, on my home phone, we apparently got the phone number of some deadbeat. Still getting her calls six months after WE got her old number. I spend most of my time telling those folks, nicely, that no, I don't know said deadbeat and two, would they take my number out of their database. All of them do but LORD, she must have owed everyone in the world. Liz

Another handy-dandy feature is "wireless notification" if you use Verizon's voicemail on your landline, which I do. What that means is, if someone calls and leaves a message on your home voicemail, it automatically sends you a text message on your cell phone telling you you have a message on the landline voicemail. I have an office in home with its own phone number and voicemail... very handy to get that text so I can return the call immediately.
