How to Politely Reject Calls From Unknown Numbers
Infoxtechpedia - This is a scenario we have all been able to relate too, your phone rings and it's an unknown number. And when your phone rings, do you answer in the hope that it is something vital or let it squelch away to escape another robocall for a low-interest credit card? A quickstart to embracing the dreaded unknown calls
Obviously the simplest thing to do is let it go to voicemail. If it is really important or urgent, they will certainly tell you and leave a message. That way, you can decide if it's worth calling back without the uncomfortable silence of trying to answer a call from an unknown number.
However, what if you do answer and it turns out not to be a call that you want to participate in? This is where being polite pays off. A follow-up of I am sorry, not interested, or no thanks for calling can do just fine. You should always keep it simple and never, NEVER feel the need to explain or justify. Keep it short and sweet.
When calls are coming from the same number over and over If you consistently receive threats or unwanted communication, that contact may be blocked. This is very easy with most modern smart phones. This BLOCK function is there, easy to get at from recent calls per number. And thus you will not be disturbed again by the caller.
You might also use apps for automatically screening and blocking unknown numbers, in case you want to be extra proactive. These apps can filter out any possible spam calls from reaching you in the first place.
In the end of it all, it's just about centering yourself. You do not have to answer every single call, in particular the unknown numbers. Too true right, the next time your phone rings with a number you don't know.
