silent calls
Phone rings, nothing
Silent calls are phone calls where the recipient answers but hears nothing—no voice, no message, just silence.
They're often generated by automated dialers when call center agents aren't available to connect, though they may also come from scammers testing which numbers are active.
The experience is unsettling: I've been getting silent calls at odd hours.
