frostbitmic Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 My phone is also my alarm clock, besides I have to keep my phone on in case I get a call from the alarm company about my business'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 My wife works very early and I go to bed late so phone is out of bedroom unless it is a night we are expecting heavy snow fall and she expects calls from her staff. A couple of times this has come to bite us with her trying to call when she gets to work but in general more good than bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 People who know me, know to text rather than call. With the exception of my Dad, who is so old school he always leaves a voice mail (or as he calls it the answering machine) if I don't answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of my Dad, who is so old school he always leaves a voice mail (or as he calls it the answering machine) if I don't answer Just don't understand this. My rule is 2/2. If the text is more than two lines, or the string is more than 2 texts (initial and response) I call. Just saves time. Also you sometimes can't tell if a person is kidding or serious in a text. Damn auto correct also has me saying things I didn't mean when trying to text without glasses. Exception is group texts, admit there is some value in reaching out to several people in a single text rather than making several calls.

Gugny Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 My phone is on silent, no vibrate, 24/7. If someone calls and I miss it, I figure if it's important, they'll leave a voicemail. Otherwise, I check my phone very frequently. But I don't want to be alerted in any way, shape or form, unless I'm expecting a call/text. When I go to bed, my phone stays in the kitchen. I have a landline that will ring if anyone calls or needs me at that hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep ringer on incase if emergency. Don’t call after midnight or before 730am. A text is fine just don’t send a bunch of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a lot of flak when I told people I turned them off but once the group broke up and went back to work they came one by one quietly asking if I could turn theirs off. The repeating alert is what caused me to turn it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Robocalls to the home phone begin promptly at 9:00am. ? I often stay up late, and 9:00am is often too early. ?? I keep my cell in my bathroom charging at night. I won’t hear a text or email notification, but I will hear it ring if there is an emergency call. I have a 92 year old mother in town, so it seems like a good idea. I worked for a (TERRIBLE) company that pushed venders to get work in ASAP every day so we could look better in our turnaround time getting it to the banks. . They would come in every morning at 8:00am and start calling trying to prod for results. Unfortunately, these jerks did a very poor job of checking time zones before calling, often calling people at 6:00am or earlier. It was NOT a winning strategy as it just made everybody hate us. Worst job I ever had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
