The phone in my house has been set to low volume ringer and the answering machine kicks in at 2 rings. This is because of the numerous unnecessary calls that this house gets for no apparent reason. Plus, my dad sleeps irregularly, so the phone going off is a distraction. If the caller feels like his/her call is important enough, then he/she will leave a message. If I think the caller is important enough, I will pick up or return the call. Simple as that.
