[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you answer your cell phone if you don’t recognize the number? Do you just say “hello” or state your full name?  The reason I am asking is that I just say “hello”, you never know who is on the other line - it could be a doctors office or a spam call… but people in the other line never introduce themselves. They demand to know my name but never state theirs first. Be it a doctors office, someone calling from the opera to request a donation, or some newspaper trying to sell me a subscription. [/quote]

I just press the button and don’t say anything. They called me — they can speak first.[/quote]

This is weird. Saying hello doesn't commit you to anything or give anything away. Just don't answer if you're that paranoid.[/quote]

DP who also does that.  It's not paranoid - most spammers will start talking or playing recording only after they get a live human response.  So when in doubt, I keep quiet for a few seconds, if it's a spam, they hang up.  [/quote]
