Unless I was expecting an international call, I would be very wary about 
answering it at all.  The pond-life have worked out that people won't 
answer calls which say "Withheld" so with the connivance of crooked 
telecoms providers they now put any old made-up number in the 
presentation number field.

Generally, if I don't actively recognize the calling number I let the 
answering machine take it.  Anyone genuine will leave a message.
