Robokiller? Just type the number given into the phone.
Google Voice? In my experience you just go to voicemail

I just say my name and it typically gets me through. I'm curious to see what other people say.

“Pick up to find out!”

Never works, but give it a shot.

Using my name, because if they think I am someone else. What happens when they pick up

I give my name and company and inevitably end up in voicemail.
That said, I'll get a call back or email usually - so it works.

I'm usually just honest. Haven't had to cold call someone's cell in a while though. Almost always just got their voicemail.

I don't answer numbers I don't know. Too many people want to offer me cash for the house I don't own in a different state. ☠

you can either say nothing and it gets pushed through, or tell them your name and they answer...

I just say "about xyz (whatever is relevant)" and I've gotten a decent hit rate on that. I don't mention name or company.
