It would be extraordinarily unusual for someone to have my number but not be able to call from the phone storing it. Anyone I'd be an emergency contact for, I have their number(s). There are theoretical problems with not picking up, but no practical ones that I've ever come up with or had suggested to me.
- nostrebored 10y agoIn an emergency situation do you think that everyone will be calling from their own phone? What about people who list you as a medical emergency contact or work emergency contact?
- khedoros 10y agoDo you expect that they wouldn't be either calling from their own phone, calling more than once, or leaving a voice mail? There are two people who I would lay money on knowing my phone number by heart, and only one of them lives within an hour of me. Everyone else will be stuck looking it up on their phone. I often go out without my phone, have the ringer off, have a dead battery, or ignore the ringing because I'm driving. It's ridiculous to assume that I'm instantly available 100% of the time, or that I wouldn't treat different incoming numbers with different priorities.
