But what if whether it’s ok to call or not depends on who’s calling? By simply calling, all I know is the number. By sending a text, they can shortly introduce themselves.
What if it’s a number you don’t recognize and you pick up to realize it’s someone you don’t want to talk to?
It’s 2024, people can be courteous and send a quick text, which is also not a big deal.
The ringing is them asking to speak to you. Your choice to answer or not is the reply. It does not require an additional bloody text on top you baby.
It does if you ever want me to pick up 🤷
Agreed. Maybe I’m different than all your downvoters cos I’m not from USA and phone operators are regulated and there are almost no spam calls…?
I’m from Italy and I had to block unknown number calls. I was getting like 3 a day at the worst times possible.
Sometimes you don’t have a choice though, like if you’re preoccupied and are away from your phone: for emergency reasons or not.

There is no reason to call. Put it in a text. Fuck, even my 72 year old mother knows that.
Answer and see who it is? If you’re busy don’t answer. If you don’t want to talk to them after you find out who it is just tell them. It’s not hard.
“hey Greg, how are you doing man?? We haven’t talked in a while!”
“I’m sorry, I don’t want to talk to you right now”

Yeah, it’s that easy and definitely won’t make people think you’re an asshole!
You say ‘hey sorry I’m in the middle of something, I’ll give you a bell back later’
