    I always silently wait out the message all the way to the end until the spam machine is the one that hangs up. I get far fewer spam calls than anyone I know. Not enough data to say for sure if that is why. I also tend not to use my phone number for anything. Could be a bigger factor. But I don’t get repeat calls. So that does tip back in favour of my behaviour being part of it.

    They aren’t on the line yet when you first answer, so by the time they connect and start playing their message, it’s easy to be a silent line the rest of the call.

      I never say anything, if I pick up the phone for anyone that is not in my contacts. If no one says anything, I either hang up or rub the phone on my shirt to make a random noise. That usually results in a disconnection. I rarely get calls any more.
