I have similar experience as Jim. All of our phone numbers have Texas area c=
odes but we live in Atlanta Georgia.. I answer very few calls that I don=E2=80=
=99t recognize the number. If I have called a business and am expecting a ca=
ll back I will answer Atlanta Georgia calls that are not in my contact list.=
Otherwise, if I don=E2=80=99t know you I don=E2=80=99t want to talk to you.=
Said with a smile!
