Very very rarely. Like for appointments or family. Get about 5 scam calls a day regularly

Same policy here. Slightly fewer scam calls. Occasionally the caller ID will say something like “ILLEGAL SCAM” 🤣
5 was true at a point in time, but closer to 2-3 these days tbh. Would love to understand the root of the issue and why it seemingly can't be stopped. The service of having a phone is measurably worse than it was years ago! Wild. Good old spam wars...
I’ve occasionally thought that maybe placing a call should require a deposit, which may or may not be returned at the discretion of the recipient. Of course the statist approach would be to drone the crap out of the call centers. Actually surprised that has never come up as a campaign promise.
It a terrible idea. Reminds me of collect calls back in the day from pay phones. The trick was to record something like "mom pick us up" as your name, and then let the robo-operator ask recipient if they'd accept call from "..."
Good times
