My Nokia 3310 could do that. This actually answers the call and asks the caller what they want, it then rings if the call seems legit.


How did that work?


It simply rejected calls that lacked caller ID, which is what I assume the GP meant by unknown callers. It wasn't only Nokia either, every single phone that I have ever owned has been able to do this. Its right there alongside novel features such as "sending a text" or "making a phone call."

If you meant the Pixel feature then there are probably lots of videos and posts covering it.

I thought you meant you could do that on your OG 3310 so I was curious.
