To the people that said 'Never', can I ask a question for clarification?

You're waiting to hear back from a job interview. The phone rings, and it's a blocked number. You're certain that you won't answer, despite it probably being that company?

That's incredibly odd, if true.

What sort of idiot organisation hides their call id, and expects everybody to answer them? rofl
Hidden call id, is almost exclusively used by sales calls/scammers, and there is always a way round doing it if you're genuine.
Lately, I have two people who call me withheld. One is a personal friend, who forgets I don't answer withheld numbers, and texts, or turns call id on. The other is an agency I used to work for, who learned the hard way that if they want to contact somebody, turn the bloody call id on.

For iphone users that are jailbroken, install iblacklist, and the phone doesn't make a peep.
