This is a thing. It's called Call Screening

I use it on android and most people just hang up.

But it's nice knowing that companies who call me also have to talk to a robot first before reaching the human, me😊

I have it too. It's glorious.

9 out of 10, it's bots talking to bots.

But the 1 time, it was my doctor calling about something afterwards. I love it.
