People get called by phone numbers outside of their contacts?

10+ times per day every day year round, all hours of the day.

Unfortunately yes. My office phone forwards to my cell so I can stay home, trade off is I have to answer every call from random area codes

Check with your IT department to see if the system allows for forwarding with the caller ID specified as your office number so you can add that as a contact and know where the call originates from. That's a pretty common feature in business telephony systems.

Not anymore I don't.

A lot of young people just don't answer the phone point blank because everyone they want to talk to uses some other messaging service and everyone they don't want to talk to calls on the phone. Apparently this makes it hard for political pollsters to reach the youth demographic.
