You are correct. But, you can let calls go to voicemail and texts go to mailbox, check it out, then call back if it is legit.
In the days when we only had "land line" phones, you had to run to get the phone when it rang or you would miss the call. Now, with cell phones always with us, we need to stop reflexively answering the phone every time it makes a noise. If you let the call go, you can call back a caller you know instantly. Those you don't know, you have time to check it out. What if you were driving or in the shower? You would (or should) let the call go until you can safely get to it. Save yourself a lot of angst and let calls go, your friends will understand, and businesses and doctors offices will still be there when you call back.
