    Hi.... I get at least 4-5 per week and just ignore them. For some strange they dont bother leaving a voice message - so they must not needed me that much.

    Does anyone actually 'worry' that these calls might be important???

    What do you all think of same

    How do you answer blocked numbers AFTER they ring off when you didn't get to the phone on time?

    For most people, you can't.

    In absolute extreme cases I assume that a phone service provider might be able to give info of visual sight blocked numbers to the likes of the Gardi if they came up for investigation.

    For the common user - all you can do is hope they ring back.

    I never answer withheld numbers. If someone came knocking on your front door wearing a balaclava, would you answer the door?

    I have always thought that if a person had their number blocked then they are not worth talking to and they can always leave a message if its important and like you say they never do, fu##ers....

    No they are usually scam phone calls or ask you if you want to do a survey.

    I usually don't know what the person is wearing until I answer the door.

    Because it's the exact same thing. A balaclava == a blocked number. Mother of God.

    Not if the balaclava was all that they were wearing.

    I answer them during the day but when I get them at 3 and 4 in the morning from my stalker I don't. I know it is him because I get a text straight afterwards from him the weirdo.

    Nope. If someone can't be bothered showing their number I can't be bothered answering it. If its really important they can leave a voicemail with their number.

    Nope, never answer private numbers. If they're blocked, they have something to hide IMHO. If it's important - they can call back.

    With a name like that I'd have thought you'd be eager to answer.
