I received a rather irritating automated call today that had these awkward pauses, making it almost seem like a real person was on the other end. They’ve rung my mobile two times now, and my provider, Vodafone, has flagged the number as spam. Pure nuisance, if you ask me!

I received a call from an unidentified number, but they didn’t pick up when I tried to answer.

I keep getting a message saying the number I'm trying to return a call to isn't valid. It's rather frustrating, to say the least!

This number seems to call me nearly every day, at least two or three times, and I've yet to pick up. Strangely, they never seem to leave a voicemail either. It’s becoming rather frustrating, to be honest!

Received an unsolicited call today! The number was unfamiliar and they didn’t bother leaving a message, so I've gone ahead and blocked them.

I received numerous missed calls from this particular number, and after some hesitation, I finally picked up. The woman on the other end nearly got my name correct, which caught my attention. When I inquired about her intentions, she mentioned wanting to ask me some questions. I wasn't in the mood for a chat, so I politely declined and promptly hung up, followed by blocking the number.

Greetings! May I pose a couple of queries? My response? Simply a firm no, and that quite succinctly conveys my stance.

Receiving unsolicited calls is rather bothersome, isn’t it? It’s incredibly frustrating when you’re interrupted by telemarketers.

Receiving daily calls to discuss my life insurance is becoming rather tiresome.

What a cheeky fellow! He refused to disclose his location and then just went silent, leaving me hanging while still connected. Quite the strange encounter, I must say!

I wasn’t familiar with the number, so I decided to hang up.

Hung up the phone without uttering a word.

I picked up the call, but they just hung up without saying a word! What a nuisance!
