I guess that's something :/ A friend of mine went through a horrible support experience with her Pixel 3 and that was enough for me to not want another Android phone after mine dies. > I hate phone calls, period We're kindred spirits. That's the only reason why I can't give up call screening.

Phone calls are rude. They are a Priority 0 interrupt that you must immediately deal with. Which has become extremely frustrating with the volume of spam calls on my 437 area code—to the extent I had to install a phone spam blocker app. I have no idea why anyone thought it would be a good user experience to be typINCOMING CALL

  Because going back not that long (non-SPAM) incoming voice calls were a priority interrupt. And they still sort of are for the relatively few people who call me in a regular basis. Phone calls are not rude as a general statement. When my dad calls me it is not rude.

    If someone is calling me, without texting first, I assume that either (a) my boss wants me immediately, or (b) someone is in the hospital.

      Probably a generational thing. I get far more phone calls than texts. I’d think it was super weird if a friend texted me before calling me.

        Both seem fine to me. Maybe I'm "middle aged" now.

        Furthermore, a lot of people still have landlines and that's the number that they give out to service people, etc. That was the case with me until very recently. There are very few people I'd expect to give me a call out of the blue these days rather than texting or emailing. But for that circle, I'm in the same boat as you.

  > Phone calls are rude. i find it rude if people text me something important/urgent and expect me to note or even react timely.

    Agreed. I have notifications largely disabled on my phone. If it is important, then you need to realise you're being rude and interrupt me with a phone call.
