You still get phonecalls?
Most of the time people contact me by instant message or comments for social stuff, and emails for work stuff. It's rare that I get a call that wasn't pre-arranged.
Actually I'd feel rude phoning someone without arranging it first. Not terribly rude, but a little uncomfortable. What if they are driving or in an important meeting?
So maybe phones are there to let me check messages and alerts when convenient. A huge proportion of the money you paid for that phone went on the data modem after all. It isn't really a phone means voice, or sound. But folders on a computer are not made of paper. It's just a word.
Not that I'd suggest putting your phone in a bag.

- michaelt 9y agoAlas, telephones give me no way to distinguish between a spam call and a call from a hospital because a loved one has been brought in unconscious.
- isostatic 9y agoAre spam calls really a problem in your country? I've taken 24 calls in the last 7 days, none of which were spam. I'm not sure the last time I received a spam call was. LOL Literally as I typed that above my phone started ringing, I didn't recognize the number, answered it, and it was a spam call. Lasted 12 second. That's the only one in my "recent" calls, which go back to March 27th. What are the chances.
- onetimemanytime 9y ago>>Actually I'd feel rude phoning someone without arranging it first. Things have evolved to this? How do you arrange the phone call? Call them to ask if you can call them :) ? If you have to think about it or are unsure, then don't call them.

- onetimemanytime 9y agosorry but you need to make your circle smaller. The people you pay (accountants, lawyers etc) will accept your calls by definition, but if your uncle is bothered by your phone call then you, in essence, have no uncle. I'm happy to say that my problem is different, I'm not fond of phone calls, but when I call them, they're thrilled.
- lostlogin 9y agoI’m thinking isostatic is a fair bit younger than shubb. There is a marked change happening with regard to calls.
