    At work we are required to call customers with a non trackable phone number. So everytime we call someone, it only shows “unnknown number”. I don’t get it how most people would answer that. I would never do that.

      I don’t, ‘google screen’ answers it and transcribes the call. Funnily enough I’ve not had a single call transcribed. So that’s a search and block/report.

        Community Blood Center. The very polite vampires are the only ones who put up with Google screen for me. They really like my blood.

      The hospital recently started calling with hidden numbers. So now im back to picking up those calls again because those are calls I can’t really miss.

          Lots of reasons, none of them excusable. They could want to stop people from calling back and are too lazy/can’t figure out how to set up an inbound call back route to go to a “Don’t call us back at this number” voice message; they could have switched phone services (or they’re utilizing a call center/got a new call center) that masks automatically. Those are the two that spring off the top of my head.
