If we ignored phone calls we'd miss a lot of long distance calls that we often get--ones that are NOT easy to return... For example, my brother-in-law is currently stationed on an oil rigg soemwhere around Norway. He has called us from the rigg (yes you got it, the RIGG) as well as from other far away places. One of my brothers alos lives overseas. Plus, we get calls from around the country. We have started screning calls with our answering machine though, and that helps. BUT, I dont think ignoring the phone is the solution. Besides, you're just denying yourself a service that you've payed for.
