I get so many robo calls and calls from people asking for money, that I don't answer my home phone unless I know who is calling. If they don't leave a message, I don't think they need to speak to me. Very few people know my cell phone number. I have a small flip phone that really doesn't do anything much but act as a telephone, not a computer.
The blogger at Windbreakhouse really speaks for me about being glued to a cell phone. She says she wants people to write to her, not call her. I like that, but at times I like to hear the voice of my family.
This blogger and writer says what I feel about cell phones and the obsession people have today with being available 24/7. I am not available 24/7 and I like it that way.

I too am very happy not to be available twenty four hours a day. The main reason? I just don't want to be at the beck and call of every Tom, Dick and Harriet.
ReplyDeleteI also don't answer the phone if I don't recognize the ringtone. I've given all my regular callers their own ring, and I know who is calling before ever looking at the screen. :-)
