Properly configured telephone systems at hospitals etc. will show their main public facing phone number on Caller ID for any outbound call.
Comment on Are any calls without caller ID legit?

Government departments, hospital, many companies regularly call me with “No Caller ID” and then seem surprised when I don’t answer.
If it’s urgent, they will should leave a message (instead they keep calling and complain that “it’s hard to get hold of me”).
I actually just got a new phone number because I was receiving literally hundreds of spam calls, text messages, and voicemail messages on a foreign language, every week. I have “Silence unknown callers” switched on. Only my contacts can get through. If anyone else doesn’t leave a voicemail, send a text message, or email me, then it’s not urgent and I won’t even try to follow up.

This fucking kills me. The people who I screen the call, they go to voicemail, they hang up and try again, I send them to voicemail… it’s infuriating. Voicemail exists for a reason! And yes, my experience mirrors yours in that the same people will say they have “no way” to reach me.

I had one person tell me that they were just trying to get past do not disturb by calling twice.
I was like… It was that important, but not important enough to leave a voicemail or text? Suspicious…
