Doesn't he wonder, why his audiobooks are so boring?
Every call is either a phone scammer/telemarketer, or work. Thus, my phone stays on vibrate only.
My ring tone is two longs and a short and a pause, vibrating on my right wrist. No one can hear it, and I get to know when someone’s leaving me a voicemail cause I don’t answer my phone.
Always have my phone on vibrate unless I’m expecting a call that I really don’t want to miss. But I also don’t get called randomly that much.
My phone is silent, and it blocks unknown numbers.
I thought everyone has their phone on silent except for literal boomers
My parents have the longest, most obnoxious ring tones for texts on their phones.
Millennial not a boomer, but I get so few phone calls my so I never bother putting my phone on silent. I do mute media volume tho don't need to accidentally play video audio in public.
In public, generally, but not at home. Not a boomer, but ADHD. I set my phone down so many random places and I would not realize it was going off unless it were in front of my face. And if I need to have it called so I can find it, it is much easier hear.
I just use the android "find my phone" thing. It'll ring at max volume even if it's on silent.
That's why I have a smart watch. Can't leave it places if it's attached to me.
Plus, it can make my phone make noise even if it's on silent.
I have my own company, I need to have my phone on
I only turn my phone to silent if I'm somewhere that specifically requires it: like a movie theatre.
Not a boomer and I don't care for people telling me I am rude or whatever for having my phone make noise.
Edit: I know having my phone make noise is unpopular, but I paid for this brick to make noise.
Ok boomer.
Sorry poor humor. I honestly don't care if someone's phone is ringing in public, only thing that annoys me is when they are playing on or watching things in public with the volume turned up.
I wear a bone conductive headset a lot of the time, and I have it set to read out calls or important messages to me. Smartwatches have a similar use, but goal is to not miss a call while also having the phone on silent.
I was undergoing a medical procedure and passed out and vomited all over myself
I asked the staff to call my wife so they went to the waiting room yelling her name and she just ignored them assuming it was another patient. Then I gave them her phone number and they tried calling her but she didn't recognize the number so ignored the calls.
The nurse did not believe that my wife was there, she thought I was totally out of it and was trying not to look worried.
Later my wife thought it was the funniest thing.
I use "do not disturb" so it's silent to everyone except people I care. I can't miss my mother's calls, she could need something and she's older already
I don’t miss them, no.
It’s never off silent. Period.
Miss them? Not a bit!
For about six months I didn’t receive any incoming calls (no notifications either) and thought it was due to my VPN. Finally my car broke down and I found out the tow truck driver had been trying to call me so I finally got to fixing it, but it was bliss.
I’m considering just using Matrix for calls and getting a data-only plan. I’m not really into calls/texting anyway.
I’d rather people not have phones. Wouldn’t be able to come on here much though.
