“(Personally, I have seriously considered disconnecting my landline phone, as my contacts all know my cell phone number, in order to avoid having to pick up calls that are 99% of the time not calls I want to receive.)”
you took the words right out of my husband’s mouth!! now we let almost all calls go to voice mail after just 2 rings. we figure, if it’s a personal call, they’ll leave a message. if we can identify the caller as someone we want to speak with, we pick up.
it’s really very disturbing to have the phone ringing all day long :/
