I'm not afraid of the phone because it helps me a lot. Although, annoying calls can happen most of the time, and they probably do it to for any reason. Still,  I'm not afraid, angry or  should be mad to them instead I feel pity  because I don't think you'll feel happy on fooling someone.

I hate talking on the phone, so good thing we have caller ID.
If there are other people at home besides me, then I would normally let them pick up the phone. :D

I don't like to answer the phone because I just don't like to talk that much and I rarely ever answer it. I let my husband answer it.

I am not afraid of the phone, I just hate people calling when I never asked them to call me, or I even gave them my number to call. If I don't know the number I don't answer, if it is important they will leave a message and I will return the call  ;)

now days people never make phone calls.. it's all about texting and emailing.. I think that stinks.
I love to call my nana once a week and have a healthy chat with her.

My life depends on my phone, but I always make sure that I know who I'm talking to and who I'm giving my number out to. These days people can easily scam you with your number and before you know it, your bill's skyrocketing.

I hate answering calls from unknown numbers. The great thing with my new smartphone is that if there is a number calling me and I know I don't want to hear from them, I can set my phone to either go straight to voicemail or pick up and hang up without even having it ring!

  I'm not "afraid" of the phone...I just don't like it when salespeople call and I can't politely get off the phone with them.  They won't take no for an answer, they end up wasting alot of my time and I've thrown the phone (my cell is my main phone) into another room before to let them carry on their conversation with themselves.  I love caller id, love voicemail and have encouraged clients to email me because they get a quicker response that way---and they love that.

Ive heard you can train salesman not to do that. Get a whistle and if they don't have enough respect to listen to what you say...blow that whistle. I haven't actually tried this but why would you buy anything from someone that doesn't have enough respect for you to listen to your wishes? And why let them waste your airtime?

I am not afraid of the phone and otherwise I like talking on the phone with my buddies. I think it is a woman's nature to release some pressure from life by talking to all the girl mates.But I hate commercial phone calls.

If somebody is not in my contact list they have to leave a message or they will never hear my voice.

i am not afraid of the phone but would rather get a text message because then i am not put on the spot to find paper to write down a message or to answer questions. i also hate it when you are on the phone and somebody has to go get something and they take like 5-10 min to go get that thing and you dont want to hang up because you dont want to be rude!
