Hehe - Do you switch your cell phone off at night or change it to silent? I never do, simply because if there is an emergency and someone needs to get hold of me then they can......

And.....I never complain (ok sometimes) if someone does ring or text and it wakes me up, because it\'s my choice to have my phone on Smile Haha - for instance I got a lovely phone call at 4.30am this morning!!!! Hmmm...

What do you do?? I find that most people leave their phones on......
[quote]
i called my fried at 1am,3am,5am, 8am one acidic night...we really wanted him to come out with us.

he wasn\'t impressed, but kept on leaving his phone on, too bad i say..
[quote]
i only turn it to silent on Saturday nite cos sunday is my only decent sleep in day Smile but other than that my cell is on 24/7 i use it as an alarm so i cant put it on silent Sad but i have no friends so i got no probs bout ppl ringing me anyway Sad

*sniff, sniff*
[quote]
Thats true Moo! I leave my phone on because I have had a few emergency calls from certain people. ALthough there is nothing more annoying than a call ar 3am from your wasted buddies : )
[quote]
i leave mine on all the time, only goes to silent when it has to but never off, unless battery is run out.....
but good if someone needs to get hold of you, i can sleep thru it and sometimes it might be worth gettin out of bed.......
[quote]
Actually if you have a nokia you can put your phone on silent and the alarm will still go off

i ususally leave my phone on, but recently have just left it on the single beep for both calls and texts
[quote]
yeah emergency call to pick up mates from hospital, once was enough but good that they can get hold of you
[quote]
apart from the fact that i drowned it at the gathering Smile and wont have it back for a week! i normally leave it on all the time.
if it\'s turned off - you know im up to no good Wink
[quote]
I also figure that if I\'m asleep and my phone rings and I don\'t wake to it then I obviously need the sleep and am not supposed to talk to that person for whatever reason. If I wake up (like this morning at 3.30) then I am meant to speak to the person..... Hehe Smile
[quote]
I leave my fone on all of the time.... except when I\'m really tired after a big nite out.

Hopefully there will be no big emergencies in the middle of the day. Smile
[quote]
I pretty much leave it on all the time. I won\'t answer it if I don\'t want to, but you have the option like others have said - \"just in case\".
[quote]
Mines always on and fortunately I have only ever had few wasted 4.30 callers that have woken me, I generally just sleep through it .

Moo - Who would be calling you at 3.30am???? hehehe!!

Always

[quote]
Dreaming - hehehe is right! I think you can guess! Thats TWO NIGHTS in a row now! Thing is I don\'t mind a bit!
[quote]
cheers for that Kyla Smile

mines always on a silent beep for txt messages, cant stand ppl that have the VERY loud BEEP BEEP for a message recieved, sometimes its louder than the incomming call tones Smile
[quote]
Scooby - I hear ya! I HATE the LOUD BEEP!!! Grrrrrr........
[quote]
Moo- is it the zoo saying that an *anaconda snake* has escaped again... ;P
[quote]
YES - I\'m on call to help them catch it Smile
[quote]
Renn - that brings up the topic of the wonderful invention that is Caller display, thank god i don\'t have to talk to people i don\'t want to if i can see who it is....
[quote]
hehe.. just be careful of the venemous spit that it projects from its head.. ;P haha
[quote]
haha.. I\'m actually more likely to answer the phone at 3am than I am at 9am. Strange, but true. Morning phone calls are a sin at my house and if I ever answer the phone in the morning, I make sure the caller realises it.

Most of the time though the \'emergency\' is often friends that for some reason have become stuck somewhere and need a ride. Don\'t mind if their straight up about it... its what friends are for.
[quote]
Moo - Hehehe!!! Yay you lucky girl!!!

Always
Dreaming xxx
[quote]
Don\'t you HATE private numbers though - I\'m too curious, I just have to answer it even though 9 times out of 10 it\'s like the bank telling me my credit card is well over it\'s limit......again! Eeek!
[quote]
To save the problem of not having to answer to certain people I just tend to only give my number to people I am happy to answer to!

But I do tend to leave my phone in another room and miss calls
[quote]
Mein gott.....what happened in emergencies before we had mobiles!!!!

It does amuse me how much a part they have become in our lives.
[quote]
Dreaming - well, I dunno.... I mean I am but I\'m getting a little worried Sad
[quote]
I couldn\'t cope without my cell phone.
[quote]
caller ID is the best thing ever created for the phone... the ppl id have to talk to if i didnt have it Smile

most of the time i dont answer *non-display* numbers, if its important theyll leave a msg Smile
[quote]
haha Moo, i was gonna say that, curiosity always gets the better of me, but sometimes its a nice surprise.....last time it was someone i forgot i gave my number to calling to say they had something for me.....yay
[quote]
Ooooh presents!!!

Yeah crazy you\'re a curious wee kitten aren\'t you!
[quote]
I need a new phone.... my phone has the
dumbest message beep ever.... it\'s a Savvy...
anyone know the one? It\'s horrible
embarrassing :0(
[quote]
I hate savvy\'s Sad

Get a Nokia Blue!
[quote]
My phone is always on and it\'s my alarm clock too.
I love midnight texts...no matter how tired I am I always have to read them...too curiousSmile

[quote]
I wish I could afford a Nokia Blue... I might get a
CDMA phone if Telecom are still doing that
swap deal thing...
[quote]
Nova - do you find that you wake up in the middle of the night sleepily check texts then wake in the morning and it\'s all a bit fuzzy. Who texted you? Did anyone? Was it a dream? Hehe.
[quote]
It\'s been known to happenSmile
Midnight texts give me warm fuzzies so I go back to sleep feeling all cozy and happy.
[quote]
They\'re nice eh!

Unless they are from randoms who you don\'t really like!

It\'s nice just getting a text that say\'s goodnight sweetie or something like that Smile
[quote]
My phone is ALWAYS on. Unless I forgot to charge it. I generally get calls to do with work at ungodly hours and have to deal with them
[quote]
i have a savvy too, i would like a contract phone now that vodafone dont tie you to it, but man..have you seen the costs of the phones.....no thanks!
[quote]
prepay is such a rip
[quote]
I leave it on 24/7......apart from 4 days over
NYe...was out of range...and damn.....tell u

it ring all the time!
[quote]
My bill for last month was $150 - that\'s a rip!
[quote]
anacia - my bill last month was $750!!!
[quote]
Always on but goes on slient during the week when I eventually go to sleep
[quote]
Moo, you\'re not on the wrong plan per chance??
[quote]
I just like getting called or texted. Still makes me all like \'woo\' Very Happy

Friends are the bomb.
[quote]

[quote]
Has anyone else moved to 027 telecom deal?
[quote]
I\'ve left my phone pretty much permanently off since coming back from the US.
If people want to contact me they call Kyla\'s phone.

I\'m being a very private hermit at the moment.
[quote]
Sarin - on Get 300, 20 free texts a month, I usually have anything from 650 - 1200 texts a month.
[quote]
Yeah, last month I got mine down from an average 860 txts a month to half that!! :o) SOOO stoked... Still, My most expensive bill recently was $250. How you treble that??
[quote]
Always leave it on! Infact even with I have it on silent, I can still hear calls and text messages come through as it makes my stereo make a funny dit, tadit, tadit noise!

And yes... weekends especially, I get calls and texts alllllllll night! But hey... people love me!
[quote]
usually turn my phone off. But its classic when you turn it on and half a dozen txts pop thru saying funny shit from people who were out the nite before twisted, eh FISH!!
[quote]
Um, text conversations with people overseas are dangerous.......

Was happily texting my girlfriend in england and before I knew it my inbox was full, like 30 texts from her, which meant that I had sent the same amount to her - theres $6.....
[quote]
Hmm i leave mine turned on but it takes a train through my room to wake me, although somwetimes texte do im usually dazed and confused read the message delete it and fall asleep again to find a pissed of mate in the morning cause i forgot who had text me.
[quote]
Smiley - you\'re just too dam cute *hugz*
[quote]
Hehe. Very Happy
[quote]
Mine is on all the time and always at my side, just in case someone needs to get in touch with me. I don\'t care what time the call is or if it wakes me up. Any call is important to me, mainly cause I don\'t get many.

Texts on the other hand are just fickin annoying, especially the people who can text everyone on thier lists at once. If you can\'t text me personally, then I don\'t want to be part of a spam text.
[quote]
thanks to caller ID i can leave my phone on 24/7,
[quote]
I\'m rapidly getting to the point where I hate sending text messages, cos I just hate fucking around trying to compose the shitty little thing. And I hate the enormous phone bills that result from a bunch of 20c messages.
Count yourself special when you get them from me then. : )
[quote]
Smiley, That would explain that then dude!!!
[quote]
Hi Night Junkie!!!

xxx
[quote]
Explain what? You get texts from me... : )
[quote]
i love text messages, i can say whatever i want with them
[quote]
I kept one you sent me from ICQ once pink cos I thought it was so funny (I guess I\'m a little sick sometimes), explaining why you had a bad day (saw some poor duckies getting run over):
one got squashd flat on its head, one got knockd over den squashd n one got squashd on its side n it was alive for a while.
Oh, better explain for the easily offended that its not the running over thats amusing (of course), just the explaination via text... I guess you had to be there.
Poor poor pink, now I feel bad for laughing about it after re-reading this... Nevermind, gonna hit post anyway...
[quote]
pinK - That would make me have a bad day too!
Once a duck smashed into my windscreen when I was driving and fell on the road, I stopped to see if it was ok and it seemed average then I somehow managed to run another duck over 5 minutes later.....

I cried.
[quote]
LOL
[quote]
I ran over two ducks once. All I heard was thud \"Quack!\" I started to cry but everyone thought I was just being silly. I\'d never killed anything beforeSad
[quote]
Did you know that ducks find their partner and mate for life...so probably good thing I topped them both aye.
[quote]
Oh thats so sad!

Once I murdered a mouse. But I don\'t want to talk about it.
[quote]
I\'m sure it was self defense, so lets just call it manslaughter.

[quote]
No it was cold blood! I was 4 and extremely jealous.
[quote]
oh dear!
Jealous of a mouse? how odd?
[quote]
Hehe!

No my best friend Anthony had a new mouse and I wasn\'t allowed any mice because Mum said they smelled bad and were rodents. I was trusted to hold the mouse while Anthony went and got us some raspberry cordial.......In that time I murdered the mouse. Then LIED and said that I thought it had a sore tummy and died because of that (children!!)

Ok, now I\'ve talked about it.
[quote]
ha! evil evil moo. I bet he was devastated.
[quote]
Um, funnily enough no!
[quote]
wow moo is a psychopath! Very Happy watch out bed clubbers?!
[quote]
you murdered the mouse Moo?

How?
[quote]
i turn my phone off at night when i go to bed and on again in the morning when i wake up. if any one needs to get hold of me for and EMERGENCY in the middle of the night then they\'ll have my home ph number
[quote]
I have mine left on charging beside my bed. I find the radiation waves give me some really tripped out dreams.

Im usually the annoying fuck who txts at all hours just because i am bored.
[quote]
My phone is a good alarm, if I\'m runnig REALLY late someone rings and I wake up.
[quote]
fuck you killed a mouse you whack job. hahah how the hell can anyone afford to a 750 buck a month cell phone bill? Does that involve any work related calls or texts? whats everyone else\'s best bill for private calls only. Mines like 220 bucks and i was seriously fucked off. That could have been spent on XL\'s!!!
[quote]
Nope ALL personal.

I know, I know....
[quote]
As soon as you invest in some o/s calling to friends in far away places (done generally on a twisted morning) the bill does seem to climb. I am still trying to pay a bill off from 4 months ago. Went crazy for a couple of months, didn\'t make a payment and found myself staring doen the barrel of a $1600 phone bill .... eekK! Ahhh well it was a fun couple of months ~ and I don\'t look back regretting it.
