Why answer if you don't know the caller? There was a time when I would answer just for fun, but now I feel for the people that do it because there's not much else out there for the unemployed.
If I don't recognize the caller name or phone number, I don't answer. If it's important, they'll leave a message. Most times, I keep my home phone volume all the way down, or even off and just check the caller ID and messages once a day.
Because of this practice, I don't mind giving out my home phone number when it's requested. And only friends and family are privy to my cell number. And both are registered on the donotcall.gov site.
