As you are all about to make call to one of your friends and yours beaming face is something to catch your friend on the hob like. But as you try to connect it says " The number you have dialed is switched off', or ' the number you have dilled is busy, please call after sometime', or it the prerecorded voice says ' your balance is low, you have..."
I feel like throwing away the phone instantly and jumping before a running train.
What do you hate to hear on your mobile phone? Please share.

"sorry your balance is not enough to make an outgoing call, please reload your account to make a call" lol. this really frustrates me for some reasons, i really dont know. maybe because i am frustrated whenever i know that my cellphone hasnt load at all. but other from hearing those voices over my phone, i thing i hate about to see in my phone is that i dont have 3G signal. coz i am using my phone to connect in the internet and do my business here.

As a matter of fact,I can stand all the situations you mentioned if there's nothing emergent.What I hate most is the same ring or music everytime I call but no answer.Sometimes,he/she is busy.I can understand that.But I'll be unhappy if there's no call back.

ughh i hate hearing all of those things.. the balance inquiry. The "music" when your waitng on for you cell phone provider to pick up the phone. And when your trying to call someone but you get a busy tone or it says "this number has been diconnected" i get so mad im like well how the frick am i suppose to reach them or get their new number? And that low battery tone when im out and actaully need the battery to last, its like being stranded in the middle of nowhere when you run out of gas.

yes that never ending music is my greatest turn off. Oh my God what an awful moment is not that.

I don't like being on speaker phone. It is truly harder to hear on the mobile. I have to repeat what I say alot. It gets a bit annoying.

I just hate to hear "Please try again later". Or when I try to call my girlfriend and when it says "Network Busy" and when there is something very important to say. Oh my god, I just become crazy.

What do i hate to hear over the phone?
that's easy, my boss's voice! I can't stand it when he interrupts family gatherings just do he can let me know that there is another assignment he wants me to complete, the whole get-together just gets poisoned, and my time-off is over before it ever started. Well, I guess that's life!

If i call my friend or my family i don't care what it says.i can contact them after.but if i have to call my boss or my customer,i hate any reply meaning that i can't get it now,because normally this calling is urgent.

That is that. If it is an urgent call and you do not get an access to talk to what is the worth of the cell phone?
Thanks for responding.

Well you are right, these prerecorded lines irritates a lot.
I even hear some account details at the start of calls.
It is also surprising I hear it only sometimes but not yet understand but why if we have a special code to know such details.
Whenever you are hurry and are trying for immediate call also you will listen something "Your account contains ....etc etc"
I hate this a lot.

You are right. The account detail before the call starts is the worst of all to hear.

I hate to hear that I do not have enough credit to make the call. It's just a lot of hassle especially as I'm using a prepaid card. But what I hate most is to be cut in the middle of a conversation because I don't have balance anymore..lol.

Yes, you are right. Why the hell they need to remind about the account, if it is not there you cut the call in the process? And I am not a fool that I won understand what happened. Is not it?

i would have said that "the number you have dialed is not responding at the moment" is the most annoying thing but lately my service provider came up with a new service where the call receiver pays for the call instead of the caller but of course before the call receiver gives permission to do so. so lately i have been receiving calls from some unknown numbers and as soon as i receive the call, the lady speaks if i want to allow to be charged and accept this call

I hate hearing anything by a pre-recorded voice - I don't like talking to robots. I also hate it when I get automatically put through and a voice tells me to leave a message - NEVER! 
If they want me they can call me back
because they can see the number

same as what you hate "THE NUMBER YOU HAVE DIALED IS EITHER UNATTENDED OR OUT OF COVERAGE AREA, PLEASE TRY CALLING LATER"....DAMN!, what a great timing that it's turned off or there is no reception in their area.

Hi Rajib...since I dont use my cell phone too much, I would hate it if I heard an ex on the other end...I would hang up and throw the phone in the river!
The next thing I hate is to hear one of my grown kids whining...and then third is the recording for the person I am trying to reach is not available 
See, thats why I dont use it much..
