7. How old is your phone?

I have a Panasonic phone system and when someone calls a recording says to connect please press 1. This stops robocalls because all they do is wait for a tone that says someone picked up the receiver. If a person pushes 1, they get a recorded message to leave a message. I use this feature to screen calls. If it's someone I want to talk to, all I have to do is pickup the handset and start talking.

Here's a lint to Costco that sells a system like I have.
