Even if I am at home the answer machine takes all calls, usually these are scam calls or people who don't know me. If they are known to me then they would either use my mobile number or leave a message and I will call them back. The landline is never answered, my way of dealing with annoying scam calls received day in and day out.
On checking the answer machine the calls are international numbers or known scamming numbers. These can be blocked on my mobile but the landline does not have this facility so not answering personally is the best way for me. I am sure that has certainly been responsible for less scam calls recently, by not answering it's then considered not to be a 'live' number.
