    Don’t worry, I don’t date people who yell about getting off  lawns and have turn down their hearing aids at 8 o’clock so you’re both safe.

    I use my phone for business so I normally answer unless I am busy or I do not want to talk to the person.  Could be a customer so gotta take the call. (But not 800#s)

    I have got most sales and others I do not want to talk to saved in my phone as DO NOT Answer.  The ringtone is the exploding Nokia tone.

    Yeah that makes sense that you need to answer calls for business. Even though I’m working from home I still have my office line directed to my house through  an app on my computer. I even find last week I send those calls to voice mail until I want to call them back later. I shouldn’t be doing that.

    When I'm home,  answer my phone which is a landline.  If someone calls my cell, most likely it will be off and go to voice mail where it could take me days to find it if I'm not making a call from that phone.

    Probably on the kitchen phone.  Most of the time, I answer from the bedroom phone where there is none. This post was edited by SpunkySenior at April 28, 2020 10:28 AM MDT

    Yup - works for me.  I've discovered that new is not necessarily improved. :)
