Cold calls are rude. My 76 year old mom will not cold call because she understands convention.

Hardline phones had no way to ensure the timing of a call was considerate. Tech has moved on, and coordination is trivially easy. It is, in my opinion, rude to call or a sign of significant import.

If my mom calls without texting, it's an accident or imprtant/urgent.
