Yes and yes. Got it initially because of repeated harassing phone calls every hour on the hour (once located source and it was a pay phone!). Long after the fact we discovered it was that I was in the address/phone book of a friend of a friend, and this nasty guy was trying to get back at the person by hijacking every phone number and harassing people. YUck. Once I stopped picking up (when it said unidentified call), the calls stopped almost immediately.

I really don't know why because I hate phones and seldom even answer it.
If I hear it, can find it, and it's Eeyore, I'll answer it.

Yes, and I love it.

I hate talking to people on the phone. It exhausts me. I used to LOVE the phone as a teenager.

LOL Maris. I can relate to that one.
When Eeyore lived with me, I never bothered ever answering the phone.

Yes and yes. Except I foil anyone I call, as I have my number blocked. (Unless THEY foil me and require me to unblock in order to complete my call!)

no and no. I often just don't answer the phone. If someone is trying to sell me something or get me to refinance, they almost never leave a msg. My kids want caller id. I just figure, if I know them, they'll leave a msg, I can then just pick it up.

My cell phone has it, I guess. If I see an unfamiliar area code, I won't answer it and figure if it's important, they will leave a msg.

it just came with the new phone up north. half the time it says, unknown caller, partly because it won't give cell numbers and so many friends and family use cell phones. so we have to answer anyway, and it might be a telemarketer!

we never had caller I.D. in the south house.

both numbers have been given to the do not call registry (north house just last week).
remember to PUT YOUR CELL PHONE NUMBERS ON THE DO NOT CALL REGISTRY OR TELEMARKETERS CAN START CALLING YOUR CELL PHONE AND YOU GET CHARGED FOR THE MINUTES THEY WASTE!! i had already started getting telemarketer calls (2 or 3 weeks ago), so i made sure to register all 4 of our family's cell phones. we share 700 minutes a month and it's our son's only phone in san diego, so we cannot be wasting minutes on crap calls.

tabby, how did the telemarketers get your cell phone number? i've had a cell phone for 6 years and never once had a telemarketer call me. <fingers staying crossed>

I just got a cell phone in Oct or Nov last year and I keep getting unwanted messages.. I really have to track down that registry and register.


As for the poll question.

yes, I like caller id because if I need to call the person back and don't want to go hunt down their #, it's on the caller id. I feel too guilty not answering the phone when I'm home and awake so I usually always answer. If it is a telemarketer, I nicely tell them I'm not interested and hang up.

Ya'all are freaking me out with your 11:11 number. My mother says she sees that number everywhere since her husband died.
As to caller I.D..yes we have it. I answer it no matter who is calling, though.

Yes & Yes

I only have a cell phone and it's right there so of course I use it. I don't even have to open the phone to see who's calling.
