I don't think it's rude. That's what caller id is for. :O)

I am in the UK and had the same problem. I checked with BT and they offered the package of blocking 10 numbers for something like £10 a quarter. It was of no use to me as you would need to know all the numbers beforehand, and like you, they were just random numbers from telesales staff so I didn't know them and there were more than 10. I looked in to it further and found that if you register with the Telephone Preference Service, which is free, after a couple of weeks, the majority of the calls stop. The Telephone Preference Service distribute your number and advise the companies that there is no point in contacting you as you wont be buying from them. You do still get the odd one or two, but if you want you can report them to the Telephone Preference Service. After doing that, I bought a caller ID unit. It was free to register for the service with BT. Now if anyone phones me and they withhold their number or I do not recognise the number, I don't answer. If a salesman tries a few times and keeps getting no answer, he will give up.

No. Caller ID is a blessing. There are some annoying people that I never want to talk to, so I just have them leave a voice mail, and call them later. : ) Besides it weeds out the important calls from the unimportant ones. : )

Of course not.
That is what caller id is for!!!
People shouldn't just call for no reason and expect you to talk for hours about things that aren't important. It is a waste of your time and frankly I think it's rude!

No that is why I have caller ID I love it, If I am not in the mood to talk then I do not have too.

isn't that the point of caller id - so you can "pick and choose" whose calls you take? that's why I have it, the catch (in my area) is that most people now have anonymous numbers

I do the same thing, doesn't everyone? And no, I don't think it's rude. Just because they call doesn't obligate you to answer the phone.
