Usually I don't want to call back, because I thought it might be a wrong number or something. Sometimes, I have a couple of missed calls a day, and some with strange number I didn't program to my cellphone. So, I don't want to call back. Maybe I thought wrong sometimes, because my friend might call from a different number, or he/she just changed their numbers. But they should leave me a voice message to notify me their numbers have been changed. Otherwise, I just don't want to call back. Would you call back a strange number that is a missed call, to find out who is calling?

You can always block those nasty calls. If you check on your manual, you might find those functions useful.

I never do but sometimes it could be that a lost friend would want to contact as it happened a few days ago. I missed her!!

It would be better if the person leave me a message or something like that. Because I might not want to call back a stranger, you know what I am saying here. I hope they understand.

I agree I wouldn't answer it or call it back. I love caller id! As you said if it's someone you know they'd leave a message or try to contact you again another way or leave a message the next time. Besides it's your minutes why waste them on a possible stranger?

No. Never did I call back to a strange number. I don't want to take the risk if that person is a bad one. I know that if the call is important, the caller will either call me again or at least text me about the important message. I will not call or text that caller unless he tells me why. I am really careful in whatever do because it's hard nowadays. Many people should not be trusted that easily...

No, I would never call them back. I would never attend a call from an unknown number...

I don't bother to call back if it is some number that I don't know. If it so happens that it is a familiar one, I will call back to see what is up.

In my case, I don't want to prolong my curiosity of who's calling me that's why I always do call back. My husband would tell me to ignore those unwanted calls because it will only charge me. But here I am hard headed as I am still calling the numbers whom I missed the call. My reason is maybe it is an emergency and one of my family is in danger that is why I can't sleep without knowing the owner of the number.

I always call back. Often it is just a wrong number, but sometimes it is someone that I need to speak with. I sell Avon, so every call is important.

yeah coz sometimes you may miss some offers if you try to avoid precious phone calls no matter from whome ever that call may be from so i do call back to here the result . i do had some fruitful results of calling back as i was able to know that i my tommorow examination has been suspeded now if i havent called it back then i would have been at school and siting like a donkey studing each every word from boook late night.
