I miss calls here and there but I see the ones listed as potential spam and there’s a lot. I also have my phone set to not even ring if they aren’t in my contacts list. If it’s real, they’ll leave a message. Sometimes the bots selling me tax relief leave a message.

My kids know to not use me as an emergency contact! It could be hours before I see my phone.
