Don't answer the phone.

Here in the US the silence on the other end is the predictive dialer used by telemarketers to increase the number of answered calls, but there's a kink in the system such that a live human operator is not always available to give your call. (I had written "take" there, and realized that wasn't an accurate description of the circumstance, since you didn't call anyone.)
