Should you answer calls from unknown numbers?
The short answer: usually let it go to voicemail.
Why not answer
Answering, or pressing a key, can confirm your number is live, which makes it more valuable to callers.
What you miss
Real callers, like a doctor's office or a delivery driver, will leave a voicemail or text.
Make it easier
Save important numbers to contacts so filters let them through.
