I began screening out calls when my employer made me carry a phone. A rebranded HTC Wizard in 2008 if I recall correctly.

It doesn’t take people long to see the advantages of not talking to salesmen, pollsters, and other undesirable hucksters.

“It doesn’t take people long to see the advantages of not talking to salesmen, pollsters, and other undesirable hucksters.”

For over 3 decades, my wife was the head RN for a busy Family Practice. 99% of the phone calls dealt with patients and the 1% was from family members of the staff. So calls were important.

After she retired, she found out about 95% of our calls were
not wanted nor needed.
