To me it sounds like OP’s opener is exactly for people who aren’t contacts saved in his phone. It sounds perfect to me

Am I the inky person who occasionally gets a text or phone call from an unknown number that is actually valid? Like has your bank never called you? Or insurance? Or a friend of a friend?

20 years ago, yes
These days, the only people who call me are creditors (who aren’t supposed to) and scammers

If you just add "hi’ to the beginning then it’s a perfect middle. “Hello, who is this?”
