Survey shows that 56% of Ukrainians ignore calls from unfamiliar numbers
According to the Rakuten Viber survey, 56% of Ukrainians are skeptical of unfamiliar numbers – 29% do not answer strange calls at all, while 27% may pick up the phone if they are expecting a call (from a courier, store, etc.).
The vast majority of respondents (67%) will not call back if they see a missed call from a third-party number, about a quarter will check the contact (14% use special programs for this purpose, another 9% search on the Internet and messengers), and only 10% will call back immediately.
The answers to the question “Do you answer calls from unfamiliar numbers” were distributed as follows:
- Yes – 44%;
- No – 29%;
- Only if I’m expecting a call from an unfamiliar number (courier, store, etc.) – 27%.
To the question “You have a missed call from an unknown number. What should you do?” the respondents answered yes:
- I will not do anything and will not call back – 67%;
- I use special programs to check license plates – 14%;
- I’ll call you back right away – 10%;
- First, I’ll search the Internet and messengers to find out who this 9% is.
The survey was conducted online and anonymously among 70 thousand Viber users. The key age group is 34-45 years old, with more than 50% of respondents under 45.
