Yes. I answer only calls I expect, or recognize. Most others are spam/scam calls for I.R.S. or real estate services. If it is an important call, a message will be left, otherwise the number is blocked.

Is is everywhere, on everything, and probably some places that would embarass. Its just a number, a way to reach me if I want to be reached. 

Still struggling on when I do, or do not answer. Trying to figure that out still.

Normally yes, I do give my cell phone number to "everyone" as my Business Cards are out there for everyone.   There are times that I don't answer my phone calls.  Really Real Estate Agents get a lot of calls from Services trying to Sell you Leads, Zip Codes and lots of other services, probably many are great.  But when you're first starting in Real Estate it can be quite overwhelming the number of these calls you get.  Often after the first call I add them into my contacts so that I will know at a quick glance NOT to pick up that call.  I will know when I am ready to add a service to my business and I don't feel the need to listen to every sales pitch or even have the distraction for 5-10 minutes trying to say NO to these folks politely.  That's one time when I don't answer my phone.

I figure everyone has it anyway so why not advertise it. I get relatively few spam calls. After 5pm I get selective about which calls I answer.

Yes, my cell number is out there for everyone.  It's on all of my adds, emails, letters, signs and even can connect through Facebook.  I answer the phone almost anytime it rings and I'm aware of it.  It may be sent to voice mail if I'm on the line with someone and don't want to put them on hold or if we're watching a movie or eating and it's not urgent.  Avoiding a call is not my style.  I handle the painful ones and bite the bullet.
