I never got in the habit of relying on it for anything else. I don't give the number out as we also have a land-line here. People get the house number, if they warrant it. THEN all calls are screened via "caller I.D." People can start speaking (ie. leaving a message) if it's important---maybe then we'll pick up. Cell phones don't have to make you their slave!!!! Their invention has been a blessing and a curse....the latter meaning the rudeness folks display because of them has ramped up. You do NOT have to answer every-single-call as it comes in!!! You can wait to check your acc't, Facebook, Insta or whatever else you deem a necessity!

i still use one of those flip-fone dinosaurs. i like the idea of having the phone nearby, but only use it for calls & texts.
