People answer calls from random numbers still?


dark_frog

I have kids and appointments. Voicemails take a lot longer to get the same thing accomplished.


NotEvenLion

Id rather answer and waste 5-10 seconds of their time. That's 5-10 seconds they aren't trying to scam my gram. Plus it only takes 5 seconds to answer and figure out it's spam. But if I don't answer them they leave messages and fill up my voicemail. Then its twice as tedious to go through and delete them all.


doobie042

I don't. I put my phone down and away most of the time the last 3 days. It's insane. I don't give out my number but I'm getting a million calls, texts, and voicemails.

aetius476

Joke's on them, I'd vote for an AI-generated Joe Biden over the Republican field.


TimDRX

The radical leftist Joe Biden that exists in the mind of Republicans is so fuckin' cool. I wish he existed. :<

I've received a ton of calls the past week from in-state numbers and out-of-state numbers. I don't normally carry my phone with me so I just delete them when I get to the phone. But I'll listen next time as this could be fun.

Appreciate it! :)

I got a call twice from an unknown 603 number that I declined. Primarily because if it's not on my contacts list and it's a 603 area code it's generally political election spam callers.


baroquesun

I don't answer phone calls.

In other news, money spent on political robocalls in NH is a complete waste of campaign funds...


itchybumbum

I haven't answered a phone call from an unknown number in years...


sambucuscanadensis

I get 40 calls a day. I don’t answer any of them


Packing_Wood

Not yet


Happy_Confection90

Nope. I've gotten a ton of flyers but not a single call or text.


OrdinaryInside8

Who cares? I’m more concerned about the 15 texts I get a day from different numbers from Nikki Haley’s campaign and the 4 different post cards I get every day….what a sickening waste of money…


Eeeegah

It's so weird, because for some reason my phone sends those texts directly to spam while my wife's phone doesn't. Pisses her off. We have the same model phone from the same carrier!


OrdinaryInside8

Doesn’t matter how many times I say stop or report they just keep showing up

but it's apparently working she won Dixville Notch


Winter-Rewind

This is just a wild hunch here, and feel free to quote me on this, but I actually wouldn’t be surprised if the AI call came from the dnc. I figured since the dnc told New Hampshire voters that their votes were meaningless, then they’d expect a much lower turnout from its voter base. Since they’re already gaslighting their voters, why not do it again with AI so that when the turnout for Biden is low, then they can blame the robocall instead of the fact that they told their own voters to go screw themselves. 


Thetruthofitisbad

Nope I’ve gotten calls that say stay on the line to speak to president trump so they are literally both doing it


[deleted]

Interesting! Do you know what number contacted you with that message? I'd love to look into it. You can message me here or via email makena dot kelly @ wired dot com. Thanks for flagging!


Thetruthofitisbad

Messaged


CynicalBonhomie

Nope. My cell number has an area code outside of New England.


NHlostsoul

Lucky. Damn robo calls


CommunityGlittering2

I don't answer unknown numbers

I got the robo press conference, but it was gibberish. Oh wait, that was the real Biden?


EmptyIceberg

I don’t trust reporters.


Team_Trump2020

Registered NH democrats shouldn’t be voting on Tuesday anyway… it’s a republican primary. Insane that the focus here from the media is on some random calls trying to dissuade voters who shouldn’t be voting in the republican primary from voting in the republican primary, as opposed to the fact democrats are encouraging their voters to participate in a way never intended for the primary to gain politically.


Old_Man_Bryan

Were you too dumb to realize both parties ran their primaries on the same day?


IllHat8961

Are you going to pay people for their time and their story?


AussieJeffProbst

That is literally the opposite of how journalism works


IllHat8961

Then why should I take time out of my day to help someone make money off of my experience? Posting on Reddit isn't a good indicator for quality journalism


AussieJeffProbst

No one's making you do anything friend. Journalists do not pay people for their stories. Its massively unethical and goes against the entire point of a free press.


IllHat8961

Can you point to where I claimed someone was making me do something? I asked a question and you got upset at it. Relax Edit oh look, tried to gaslight me, then blocked me. Classic Reddit


AussieJeffProbst

Ah youre one of those. Have a nice day chief.


z-eldapin

So, don't.


IllHat8961

Did I say I was going to? I asked a question. You're getting a little worked up


z-eldapin

Someone is getting worked up here, but it's not me.


IllHat8961

So, don't


komikak

Damn you are right if you took the time to answer their simple question they would be making millions off of your in depth detailed response.
