They have pretty much killed voice calls for me. I won't answer unknown numbers and I will not break a conversation or walk across a room to answer a telephone.

They have pretty much killed voice calls for me. I won't answer unknown numbers and I will not break a conversation or walk across a room to answer a telephone. Such a shame. Spam, DDOS, robocalls, phishing and malware are crimes I really want pursued with vigour.
- Swizec 10y agoIsn't the new etiquette to send a text first, then if both people have time, you dial the phone? Most things can be resolved asynchronously anyway.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoIt's getting there. I try and teach everyone that too, in a direct way - I just don't pick up phone calls when I don't feel like it. Want something from me really fast? Text me. I want to know whether or not the thing is important enough to warrant dropping whatever I'm doing right now. And frankly, most of the time it isn't. Some people simply think their random bullshit is the most important thing in the world, and everyone should treat it as priority.
- eximius 10y agoAmong friends, I do this. I do not text those I am not close with.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoThat's why I love my Pebble. I know whether or not I should break a conversation I'm having / walk across the room to pick up. Most of the time, I really don't - even when the person who's calling is on my contacts list.
