This is a thing. It's called Call Screening

    I use it on android and most people just hang up.

    But it's nice knowing that companies who call me also have to talk to a robot first before reaching the human, me😊

    I like it when they actually have to reach me because they start talking to it professionally and when I answer I've had at least two people say something like "I wish I had an assistant like that."

    IDK what it sounds like but it always makes me chuckle a little.

    I refuse to take any calls from robot, i've had Dr offices say "we tried to call you" and I reply "no you didnt you had a robot try to call me and I ain't got time for that shit", of couse "ain't got time" is relative, because I am mostly just digging holes in mine craft.

    Sounds nice, but usually when someone calls me, they need something quickly, and that would be really annoing. At least I'm lucky enough that people don't call me if they can send a text message instead.

    I want it to be more common and standard. Definitely want to turn on this feature but I don’t have it available for me on my phone.

    It’s literally built into Android and iOS.

    My 5 years old Pixel has it and it's very convenient since 95% of the calls I get are from spammers

    where it asks people what they are calling about? Not just spam screening

  • For a whole I had the call screening on going through Voice, but I turned it off a while back when I was looking for a different job. It seemed a lot of recruiters either would hang up or maybe some of them would get screened out as when I had it off I got a lot more return calls. Anecdotal of course.
