Used to be that it rang ten times and the operator came on and said "your party deos not answer, please try again later"

If I am going to answer it i get it in the first four rings. Sometimes I am in no humor to talk and it goes and hangs. I have a machine that identifies my house as the Labor Temple for the Loafers and Loiterers' Union Local #1. If it's someone legit they know what to do.
