| 621626 | 2007-12-16 01:46:00 | Hi Guys Why is it that when you call a young person on their mobile phone they never answer it ! ? It annoys me as it costs money to call them and what is the point of having a mobile if you never answer it. This happens to me so many times. I know I can txt them, but sometimes you want to speak in person as it is much quicker, and sometimes they don't have any credit left on their phone so they can't text back ! Regards Digby |

| 621627 | 2007-12-16 01:55:00 | I don't always answer mine, as contrary to popular opinion it's not glued to my person. My life does not revolve around my phone. If someone actually needs to get hold of me, they can leave voicemail and I will call them back as soon as I have time to do so. Calling a mobile costs no money unless it is answered, or reaches the voicemail. Leaving voicemail costs less than the conversation you were about to have, and the person calling you back bears the charge of the call - so you can't really complain about the cost unless they ignore voicemail (which sadly many people seem to do). |

| 621630 | 2007-12-16 04:19:00 | Probably because it is often not convenient to answer a phone call. A txt message can be easily ignored until it suits you to reply - just like email, but more accessible. | Greven (91) | ||
| 621631 | 2007-12-16 04:54:00 | Probably because a lot of young people collect their messages and answer them later from someone else's land line (not paid for by them). I don't answer mine as I don't have one due to the fact that they don't work reliably where I live - so please don't ring me as I may disappoint you. |

| 621633 | 2007-12-16 05:14:00 | As a young person myself, I think guys are actually wrong. When I have my phone on me, it is by default, set to silent. This is because if we get a text message during class, we dont want to draw attention or get our phones confiscated. This means when someone calls we miss it! Simple. |

And unless Im expecting the call, I generally don't answer it if its not from someone in my address book. And then there is the few people I have rung and told them to stop sending me crap texts..... I'm an all around charmer. |
