    I get the logic. If it’s some random ass number and you’re stranded with no charger, why waste time on what might be a spam call? That and I don’t want one of the last things I hear to be someone talking about car insurance

        You haven’t met scammers/spam callers local to me. Assholes are persistent.

          Weird. Yeah since like 2009 I have almost never seen a spam call come from the same number twice. I’m in the US.

          I never get these calls. My secret? I never give my phone number out to anyone except hospitals and other health related professions.

          When I gave out my number I got them all the time.

      I would’ve put my phone on power saving mode if I was stranded. It’s good for 2 or 3 days. That’s without a battery bank or solar panel I would’ve had in my pack.
