i just hang up and they call me back talking about " yeah somebody called from this #"
Frankly I don't understand that part either!
I have a relative who does it all the time. Any time she misses a call, she'll call the number back - even if they didn't leave a voicemail, and even if she doesn't recognize the number. So she's calling telemarketers and wrong numbers back all the time. Rarely is it someone she really wants to talk to - because those people leave a voicemail! But the fact that she has the phone number of someone who called her, makes it irresistible to her, and she can't help but call them back to ask why they called and hung up.
i dont own a cell phone. but when i call people on their cell phone they dont pick up. then i just hang up and they call me back talking about " yeah somebody called from this #" duh, it was me. why do you do that, what is the point. pick it up if a person calls. dont wait to see if they leave a message to then call back a few seconds later. If you are driving i understand. Is there a reason why u do this?
I always tell people to call my home number first as I do not have cellpone on when At home or not on my perosn. I figure if they are too lazy to do that then they don't need to talk to me.

Well I often don't pickup because I use my cell # for everything and I know it gets out to telemarketers BUT the last thing I'm going to do is call them back. Besides if you add an 800 to my cell it's a local tool company and all the idiots in town think because it's in SA # they can just leave off the 800 and get them. Seriously I had one guy yell at me because he swore he dialed the 800 after I answered and explained what he needed to do to dial correctly. I did call HIM back...and yelled at his machine after he hung up on me. As to why they call you right back that's beyond me. If they don't want to talk why call back???
Screening calls. I do it, but yah, I don't call back people who don't leave messages. Voicemail exists for a reason. Plus Google transcribes it for me in its craptastic glory so I don't even need to go into my voicemail.
