You need a "Sometimes I screen my calls" option. Normally I love talking on the phone, even if it's a phone survey. I don't get telemarketer calls except I've gotten a few from Verison since we were with them a year ago. But their number always shows up as Verison on the ID. Lately I've screened called from my brother because he's been a jerk lately. Even if he wants you to do something for him he's still rude in the way he asks. He's been taught to behave better but he just tells people "It's how I am now, deal with it." Most of the time I am way to curious as to who an unknown number is that I will answer almost anything. Now that we paid off our debts we haven't any collections calls anymore so much less reason to screen. Calls from certain public service (like Social Services, Health Department, etc.) offices in our town always show up as blocked. As a day care provider I sometimes have to deal with them. Sometimes calls from the hospital show as blocked. I think it's for privacy of the patients they call. So blocked calls don't get screened aroun dhere.
