I get shit about that all the time. It rings and my wife is like "you gonna get that?" I just snicker and go on about my business. I'll call whoever called me back when and if I feel like it.
That's exactly what I tell people and I include that if they want me to pickup every time they call, they need to pay the bill and I'll be happy to do that...
I'd rather someone text me what they need and most people who have need to contact me via phone know this.
Same here.
Most of my friends are trained to send me IM/EMAIL if they really want a prompt answer. The lone exception would be when I am actually meeting them. So if I am en route to the golf course, casino, meeting them. Then I may answer.
In regards to my office line, I have a message saying if you do not tell me specifically what you are calling for, then do not expect a return phone call.

I almost never use the phone anymore. It just takes too much time. I haven't even checked my voicemail in over a year. I leave it full so people hang up and send a text instead.
Are usually really successful who dont need to worry about missing calls... and are so successful they know the person will ring them back or contact them another way...
Alas I always answer my phone lol

Lol I've tried to understand the whole text message vs phone call thing before. I think people just know the person calling them wants a favor or some shit and they figure if they get a text then they can see what they want and decide if they should answer instead of having to deal with it on the spot when you're talking on the phone.

I feel like I pay a cell phone bill to make and take calls at my convenience not for someone else's convenience to reach me any time. If it is not convenient to take a call, I won't. It's nothing personal, I just may not be able to have certain conversations at certain times around certain people. Everyone I talk to knows if it's something serious and i don't answer, call back or text me and ill excuse myself from what i'm doing at the moment and pick up the phone.
I hate when people talk on their phone about anything anywhere. I'm shocked what i hear in public from people not caring who is around them when they loudly take a call that clearly should have been a bit more personal.
I'd MUCH rather send a few texts instead of being on the phone for 30-45 minutes going on about nothing. I hate talking on the phone for the most part. And I only check voicemails to clear that stupid icon off my screen.
There are also some people I chose not to answer for, yet they continue to call. Not creditors either, it's 'friends'
