Social Does anyone still use their phone........as a phone?

[Spounman]

I hate talking on the phone. I have one friend who calls and IF I'm driving I'll talk to him. And then my girl will call if it's for something specific and quick. Otherwise I don't answer my phone, I especially hate like this morning I had 4 missed calls from a friend I haven't talked to in over a year, no voicemail, no text. Who TF does that these days. What's the general consensus on talking on the phone these days?

The phone is the least used app on my cell phone.

It's not awkward for me, I can conversation almost anybody but texting is more efficient

One of my best friends married a Turkish girl and moved to Istanbul, I what's app video chat with him once a week or so.

Seemed like during the pandemic everyone started talking more for obvious reasons. I reconnected with some old friends around r the country and will still talk with them occasionally.

I have a landline.

I also have a 4G dumbphone that is only used if my car breaks down and i need to call a mechanic to and assist. Otherwise it's turned off and stays in a faraday case.

The only people that call me anymore are telemarketers

Up until 5 years ago i still used a flip phone with no touchscreen. I do not use my smart phone for anything but phone calls. I refuse to respond to texts and tell my family members i dont check my texts so if you want to reach me, call me.

I have a flip phone. I still have the skills to text someone quickly, but I don't want to. If you can't be bothered by call as a response, it wasn't important enough.

People think I'm weird having a landline. My phone is on silent so if there's an emergency the only way anyone can get hold of me when I'm asleep is my landline.

Plus, cell service dies every now and again and it's the only source of communication.

Yes I do, speak with the misses once a day

People are all weird where they dont like talking on the phone. We have work cell phones and I'm always calling people. Texting takes to long when trying to solve an issue.

I prefer using the phone if something needs to be discussed. A 5 minute phone call can make things clear and concise. Text is ok if it's nothing important.

That said, I would much rather someone call me or text me or do fucking anything other than show up at my house unannounced. Had a girl show up at 1 AM last night looking good and wearing a skirt but she caught me off guard and it pissed me off she had not tried to contact me. I didn't even let her in my house. Now I'm regretting that pretty hard. Fuck.

Still use my phone all the time as a phone. Or I use my watch as a phone, or whatever.

If you're gonna make up a story, why not make up a better one?

I dont mind phone calls but also not many people have my personal number. Once in a while a telemarketer will call and i make noises. They hang up quick my record is 6 seconds.

I wish I could say I was making it up. But no, this happened and now I am kicking myself. To top it off I sent her a message explaining that she just caught me off guard and to let me know before she comes by and she hasn't responded. RIP.
