When automatic phone systems became a matter of fact managers such as me realized that employees could and so would use voicemail to avoid callers. I implemented many controls to ensure that customers were not put off. and as you all experiences you can call into a company and never reach a human being
With the popularity of cell phones we have many incidences of rude behavior in public places.
My obvious question then , is how do many of you view phones ,types, features,use or abuse etc? I do understand the benefits and cost savings associated with some features. However, are they really cost saving?

I still work full time, and I don't use the caller ID feature on my work phone to avoid talking to customers. There is one person in my office who turns her phone volume down so low she cannot hear her phone ring
. Caller ID is a feature I would not live without on my home landline and cell phone.
In the home I am renting while I'm in TV I have received 3 phone calls since Friday from an automated phone system from a high school somewhere in Florida notifying me that my high school student has skipped school. Somehow this school has this rental home's landline phone number in their database as the contact number for the parent of Mr. or Ms. Truant Student -- I hope this young person decides to get back to school. If I had skipped 3 days of high school and my father found out I would still not be able to sit down comfortably if you get my drift...
