screen calls

I don't think this is what you say but could you help me reword it please?

We are going in circles. You keep screening my calls so I do it back to you. If you stop screening my calls I'll stop screening yours.

Thank you

Hi I had to look it up in Urban Dictionary but, yes, that's exactly what you say. The technical phrase is: to decline a call But that doesn't sound right. If you look at the screen and think 'I'm not answering that' and you hit the side button, then you are screening the call.

  • You can also say - I'm side-buttoning that call I can't think of a better way to say it Dave
