Everyone has a mobile phone I guess.
It might happen you don't want to receive a call at some point of time due to some reason.
You might be busy, in some meeting, angry with that person, unknown number, etc.
I sometime cancel it when I don't want to talk (mostly unknown numbers). I did that in my office mostly.
What will you do in such a situation?

If i don't want to receive a call.I will just ignore the call and then put my phone in silent mode.Then i will check the list of people who have called.If its an important person then i will call back and ask the message.The rest of the calls i will ignore.Because i am having a flip phone there is no way i can cut the call.

If I am in the house, I forward my calls to my house phone and then decide whether or not to pick up. When I am out, and I don't want to pick up, I just put it back in my bag and deal with it later. If whoever it is keeps calling, I don't want to kill my battery so I just turn the phone off for about half an hour and turn it back on when they get the hint..

Well usually, I just put the phone on silent during the times I don't want to receive a call from someone unknown. Otherwise, I put my phone on vibrate and if it's a person I want to talk to I answer the call. However, if it is not, I have enough time to put it on silent before it rings and wakes up the neighborhood.
But basically, silent mode is your best bet.

Yes there are times I don't want to be disturb by calls, what I do is I forward all calls into my voicemail and the callers can leave me a message then I will just give them a return call when I am not busy anymore.

hello rakesh:-) if i don't want to receive a call from another person, i just put my phone in silent mode and ignore the call. sometimes i would hide the phone in a place where i can't readily see it so i won't be bothered by the persistent calls. i rarely turn off my phone during these occasions because that would be too obvious.

I'll put it into a silent mode so it won't disturb me. If I'm aware of that call, I'll switch to Busy mode.

when i am attending a meeting, i will change the phone to silent mode! that's all!
