Do You Return Calls without a Voicemail?

Introverted, would not call back (unless it was a close friend or family member).

I figure if it's important enough, they will leave me a message. And yes, I do considering talking, at least on the phone, to be work.

 

I think you have too much time on your hands.....get to work!








I only call my wife and kids back.

 

Introverted: would not call back unless it was family.

 

It all depends on who called.

 

Well that's the thing, if a name pops up and I know who it is, I'll call back. If it's just a number and I have no clue who it is and there's no message, I won't call back.

 

Introvert. My policy is that if it's important, they'll leave a message. I mean, why wouldn't they leave a message?

I also never answer the phone if I don't know the number...

 

I rarely listen to my vm.

 

Maybe I need to rethink not leaving voicemails when I call.

Usually I call people just to see what they are up to. Wouldn't it be awkward to to leave a voicemail saying "Hey so-and-so, just seeing what you were doing. Take it easy. Later."

 

Ditto.

If it's someone I talk to regularly, I'll call them back in most cases. Unique/rare callers I don't usually call back unless they leave a voicemail.

 

I find voicemails annoying. I have caller ID - ergo I know you called. It's more efficient to simply call you back and find out what's up, as opposed to calling and listening to voicemail, only to then call back.

If the voicemail is a direction, without need to talk to me further, text me.

Given the above, voicemail is a waste.

 

I don't always return calls with a voicemail, much less without. Want to talk to me? Call me when I can answer.

 

I won't return calls without voice mail or text unless it's a roommate or family member

 

Depends who called usually. However, if it's important they'll leave a message.

Now the real question is do you pick up if it's a number not programmed in your phone? It may mean you're a bit extroverted if you do. How about a number not programmed in your phone and you miss it and they don't leave a message? Do you call that number back?

 

If I know the person I'll call them back or shoot them a text. I won't call back a random number that didn't leave a voice mail.

 

I consider myself somewhat extroverted but I will generally not return calls if they don't leave a voice message. Its not that I don't want to talk to people but I get a lot of marketing calls, survey calls and etc. that I screen a lot of calls and if they don't leave a message I'm going to presume it was something along the lines above. If its a number from someone I know I'm going to presume it isn't something important or they dialed my number by mistake.

 

I agree 100%

 

I'm introverted and will call back if it is a number in my phone. If I don't know the number I don't call. Leaving me a voicemail doesn't make me any more likely to call you back. I tell people I know not to leave me voicemails because I don't want to take the 20 seconds to delete it.

 

I tend to call back as that's what the missed call is for...maybe they didn't have a chance to leave a message or didn't feel the need to...I know they called so I'll call back...

 

Agreed.

If it isn't important enough to leave a message, it isn't important enough to call back.
