Cell phone voice mail

[mrspunkysmom]

Before I bought a blackberry at mom's insistence, I was fine without it even I could text. No plan as I didn't text enough to warrant it.

Now I've gotten use to it. Still don't text much, but I prefer it to leaving voice mail. It's instant and I don't have to wade through the options. It's great for arranging appointments and meeting times or a quick check.

I am in no way addicted to it. I don't even answer my phone when it rings. My cell phone is for convenience.

Sounds like me and my boyfriend.... He'll call me and say "Hey, it's me, call me back" UMMMMMM.... it's already come up on my "YOU MISSED A CALL" screen, lol, so I know I missed a call. Now, I must say, he is a very talky person, so he'll start to go into something that has nothing to do with calling him back, just about the truck he's driving or whatever, and normally I just hit delete at that point and keep moving on. I have messages and more messages on my phone. I don't need to listen to his drivel, or the "call me back" when I know I need to call him back to begin with!!!!

If it's SUPER important I'll leave him a message, otherwise, I don't. I figure you get the same screen as me, you know I called, you know to call back. We're all adults here, and we get the drift, or we should, lol.

So, I vote, unless an emergency, don't leave a message, and if you do, make sure it's a necessary one.

About the texting thing.... I have a new room mate since June. My NEPHEW who is 22 years old.

Texting is his way of life. I'll be on the 2nd floor, he'll be on the 3rd floor, and he TEXTS me "what's for dinner", or "am I on my own for dinner" or something equally ridiculous when it has to do with his girlfriend coming over etc....

Can you come down 10 stairs and talk to me??? I don't sit here naked or anything (like up at camp, lol). Just come and talk to me. FRUSTRATING!!!
