I prefer it if they don't leave a voicemail.
I'd rather call back. If I call my son and he doesn't answer, I don't leave a VM. I know sometime later he will call back. VM are a waste of time. |

One of my hunting buddies does not text. Great guy. Very intelligent but he can’t write in English.
If he calls it’s probably important so I call him back. When it’s past 10pm and it’s my son I don’t answer. He’s probably been drinking. I call back the next day. Unknown callers and no VM. Nope! |

Someone complained that I didn't answer the phone and that I knew it was them at work. I told them the old pre-fix number never showed up on my phone. They countered that I knew the new pre-fix number. They didn't appreciate it when I told them that "your IT guys should have set the new system up where it ID'd as xxxxxx instead of just a number; you know "like a legitimate business" does. They were pissed. |

Most incoming calls from unknown callers are spam.
The FCC estimates that 80% of incoming cell calls are spam....I think that number is conservative by at least 10%. Most spam calls are using spoofed numbers which makes calling them back pointless. I've had some asshat call me once to chew me out for not leaving him a voicemail. Thing is I never placed an outgoing call during the day. This dickhead was too triggered to understand that someone spoofed my cell phone number to use as a "local number" thinking people would be more likely to answer an unknown caller. |

If I don't have your number saved, and you don't leave a voicemail, I'll assume it was a robo call or that it wasn't important and not call back.
If I do have your number saved, and you leave me a voicemail instead of sending a text, I will be annoyed but will call back. If I have your number, and you don't leave a voicemail, but you do text me and ask me to call back I will. If I have your number, and you don't send a text, but you're a close friend or relative I will call back regardless. If you're not a close friend or relative and you don't leave a voicemail or send a text then I'm not calling back. |

If someone does not have the courtesy to record a personal greeting on their voice mail, thereby confirming who I called, I generally wont leave a msg.

Or do you wait until the next go round when they call back or leave a proper voice message? Some people think a missed call ping is grounds for a call back. Not for me, you call me and don't leave a voicemail I automatically assume you butt-dialed me or whatever was on your mind was jibber talk. I'm with you OP. I exoect it with unknown callers, but when family does it its very flakey and it irritates the piss out of me. My blood son seldom calls back and runs a bit aloof with me anyway. And my nephew who claims to love me refuses to abide by my wishes to "Please just at least say hello & goodbye quick before you hang up." There are worse things in my life to focus about. |

If I'd don't know the number/not in my contact list, I don't answer.
I call close relatives and select friends back with no text or voice mail. Everyone else, no call back. |

I actually find it pretty creepy and weird when someone calls me because “I saw your number on my phone so I’m calling you back.”
WTF??? I either called you by mistake or was trying to reach you for something right at that point In time. Unless I’ve called back again and left a message, obviously I no longer need to contact you. If I wanted you to call me back I would have left a message. |

Try calling me...
"If you don't leave a message, I won't return your call and will probably block your number. You've reached XXX-XXX-XXXX." Even my (boomer) mom makes sure to leave a message...but she usually texts now. |

If you're one of my contacts, please don't leave me a voice mail because it's just a pain in the ass. If I know you and see I missed your call, I'll call back as soon as I get a chance, anyway. That's the way it's done with most of my contacts - we don't leave voice mails, we call back when we see the missed call.
If I don't call back, try again because I might have been in a spot with no service and didn't have a missed call. Text for me to call you when convenient is always best. But don't text me to have a long-winded back-and-forth discussion. I ain't doing that by text. Fuck you. |

hell no! My phone is always in private mode - only rings for someone in my contact list.
99.9% of the calls never leave a message. If it's legit they'll leave a message - if not fuck 'em. |

Nope, I've googled numbers sometimes to see who they are. Sometimes I find info, sometimes not. I've started getting more text spam than calls. I very seldom get spam calls anymore. But they'll damn sure text you with links. I just delete them also and block them. No message, no call back and I absolutely do not click on links.

For a lot of years I worked emergency management, on call 24/7. If my phone rang I answered it. Now if it rings I don't instantly answer it. I figure if it is important, they will leave a message. Kind of nice not having to worry about the phone ringing.
