I couldn't even tell you what my ringtone or sms alert sound is. I can't be sure the speakers in my phone have ever been used. I'll return your call/text on my time.

people like you are the reason we, as a society, spend so much time playing phone tag

Yeah my best friend is that way, absolutely unreachable by phone even though he keeps it on him at all times. He tells me "any time you need anything or there's an emergency I'm there" but the few times anything really important has come up he's terribly unreliable to reach. I'll send a message to him and he may reply 3 days later?

It's at a point where I've given up considering him an emergency contact, even as he claims he wants to be. I hope you never get burned by your "I can't be reached unless I decide I'm in the mood to reply" policy.
