I let it ring and ring and ring until the caller ID appears.
It is poor etiquette for the caller to block their ID.

I usually answer it as soon as I can figure out which pocket in my coat, shirt, pants is ringing Fred Griffin . Sometimes that is right after the 1st ring and some times I have to call them back.

I dont worry about things like that, more often it is a struggle to get it answered before it stops ringing.

It depends on how long it takes me to get it out of my pocket. I answer as soon as possible, 1,2, 3+ rings. I don't really worry about # of rings.

Is there something in Emily Post about a phone ringing twice being good etiquette? Never thought about it. Phone rings and I pick it up... sometimes i get to it on the first ring, sometimes on the second, sometimes on the third... no one complains as long as you pick it up.

I'm not quick enough to get the phone out of my pocket before the second or third ring. Sometimes I don't even hear the ringer until it's half way through.

Number of rings.. I see no reason to count rings, just answer when you can get to your phone without falling down or breaking something.

on my office phone I wait until the ID shows which is sometimes at the start of the second ring. And as an example today I did not answer when it said Google Business cause well... google didn't call me.

I don't think it matters, since often enough the person calling may hear more rings than the person receiving the call (when it comes to cell phones).
