Private/Witheld numbers

[craigvk]

Yeah, I'd say most households have an answering machine of some sort. My Mum works at the Northern Hospital and those numbers aren't blocked.

Due to some 'stalking' issues with an ex of mine I refuse to answer any calls that come up as private, all my family, friends, work, etc know that I use caller id before I answer the phone and are fine with this

Hmm Could we have had the same gf maybe? hahaha jk

But yeah, I only answer private number during the day, even then I tend not to every time.
Past about 8.30pm I don't answer to private number.
I think they should keep it though, it does come in handy sometimes...

i ****ING HATE PEOPLE THAT USE PRIVATE NUMBERS!

Whats it gonna solve???? Why do it????? it causes to many problems and is of no use to anything or one.

on a side note however..... i may just use it to ring this **** of a cop who made a single mum friend of mine walk 3kms in the rain with 3 kids because her rego ran out and he wouldn't let her pay it via Bpay... its was 1 day out of date. He impounded the car.....Surprisingly, it was the same ****ing cop who wouldn't refer me to the defferal program because he "doesn't believe in it". Makes the police look like a bunch of tools.

aZk.

I never answer private calls.

We had this problem for a while, seems to have died off (hopefully). What I have been told is that most of the time it is from an automated call centre. They have your no. in a list, its dialled up by computer and if theres an available operator on the other end they'll take the call, if not they just they'll just keep calling back. I know what its like though, it should be illegal for them to do it, we we're also screening all private no. calls through our answering machine.

That is funny as Troy. :rofl: He owes them money, but they hide their identity! :rofl:

Well if you owed people money and they were ringing you and you knew it was them and what they wanted and you dident have the coin would you answer the call ??? im tipping the answer is no :yeah:

it is annoying wen people ring u and they have the private number thing on, but tis good wen you do it to sumone else, especially wen u ring the dominos and order pizzas to a random house down the street.

and then try get them out the back of the car while their at the door. lol :yeah:
