How do you know the President is calling? If I saw a caller ID saying anything like that I’m going to assume spam. Unknown DC number, also spam.
Does an aide come to my door and hand me a phone, or warn me that the next call is official?
Otherwise of course I missed the call, guess the President gets to leave a voicemail! And we can play telephone tag with his staff until there’s another moment in his day…?
You can make the caller ID say whatever you want. It probably says "White House", and, you know, it doesn't take a Biden voter to figure that one out.
“White House”
“Neat, more spam….wonder what they’d try to get me with this time, send gift cards to save the country? Wait, no, that’s not a thing…could it be the actual White House?!?!?…Too late.” 😂
Maybe I’m just in the generation so burned out in spam and junk calls that it’s just me, but that’s about how I think that would go.
Yeah I'm with you, I don't answer any calls unless it's a known contact that I've put in the my contacts list. Any other callers can leave a voicemail if it's important (and it very frequently isn't).
an aide on the other end of the phone will greet you and then advise they are transferring you to speak to the president.
I'm not entirely sure myself. Some callers are recognized by a carrier and get custom names (at least my does it), so there's probably a way to communicate the president is calling. It won't play the national anthem instead of a ringtone, but that, at least, would make it stand out from random spam callers.
Y’know, that does put a thought in my head.
