Got a call a week ago, on my land line.
We have got to the point to never pick up any calls that say: "Unknown name", "Private name", "Toll free call". I also store those numbers on my cordless phones with "no ring". That way, you won't be bothered with the ringing phone. Additionally, on many cordless phones, you can assign certain rings to certain phone numbers. I assigned a particular ring to calls from numbers I know: family, friends, company. So, if it is just the standard ring, I don't even look, much less pick up.
Caller: (didn't pick up)
