Calls Calls Calls and text at all hours

Simple solution: turn your ringer off when you don't want to be bothered.

Kaci,

I personally dont advertise my phone number I only give it after screening and it helps for me.

Also google voice has a do not disturb option... this way you can still advertise your number but turn it off for when you are not working.

Hope this helps

Jules is alive!

The problem with me turning my ringer off is that I forget to turn it back on till im wondering if it is working...

I don't publish my phone number. And I only turn on my hobby phone when I have an appointment. So most of the time, my phone is OFF. I understand it is annoying to get calls/text at all hours like that. UGHGHGGH.!!!

Sounds like you need a separate phone.

It is rude for a guy to call at all hours expecting you to be available at a moments notice, especially if you don't advertise 24/7.

But I guess it is somewhat understandable. I mean you can't expect much brain power when confined to such a small package.

Try Google voice Kaci

Email only is an option as well.

Irony and hypocrisy, they make the world go around.

Girl - I so feel you!

I can't remember the last time my phone rang so much as it did yesterday.

Calls, Texts and Emails about my new photos

Everything runs to my phone - My email, Texts and Google Voice

On Personal Family Business Yesterday, I was on the road to West Texas and lost signal often.

Gmail notified me that my PM box had filled with 61 NEW messages.
Not including p411 requests.
I tried to return each message and text but I did not answer any calls.

I really appreciate the all the love but wanted to throw the phone in the snow.

I was in the middle of tumbleweeds, cow shit and 32 degree weather picking up my mini me.

I am home now playing Barbies and catching up on emails lol

Kaci, why don't you check out some type of of online switchboard like ringcentral*dot*com. That should allow you the freedom to deliver calls to your cell number at only the hours you wish. Also turns voicemail messages into emails.

Don't know, but probably doesn't work with incoming texts. Might be worth looking into.

Regardless, tech is your best solution.

Maybe I should check into that.

My issue is that guys will call me at 8+ PM and don't understand why I don't wish to jump up and run to my incall to have an appointment.

Case in point: Last night. I person who I have had a back and forth with called me at 8 PM. I wake up at 5:30 during school days and well, I keep a regular schedule.

I could have used the money but last night, I already had my nose in my Christmas book (Catherine the Great) and have one footsie already under the covers.

I didn't wish to get up. Face the cold. Get dressed, undressed and dressed again and get the incall warmed, up, etc. for this one appointment.

It was eight!!! The guy was upset and I was bothered by it but well, I declined the appointment almost feeling guilty about it. If he had called at 6 or earlier ... or anytime yesterday, meeting at 9 PM would have been fine.

I understand men wanting to see women at 1 AM. I do. But I hate it when guys will call and call and call several times when you don't answer the phone.

I'm like Kaci. I have real life obligations and I do have a second phone but I need this one on, too. It's a bitch to deal with.

You're not alone, btw!!!
