Friends that text you all hours of the day and night.

I would tell the friend that there is only certian times of the day they need to text unless it was an emergancy that way you can leave your phone on during the night so if there is ever an emergancy you wont be non reachable

Sure it is annoying hearing those sounds that come from your cell late at night or at the wee hour of the morning. It is only fair to have it turned silent or put it off during these times so nobody will be disturbed or robbed of their sleep. Better yet, talk to your friend not to send those text that can wait until the next day. Emergency calls or texts is an exception, of course.

I have a couple of friends who do the same thing. My problem is that I use my phone as my alarm to get up for work in the morning, so I listen to the text alerts when they come late at night. You could probably try silencing the text message alerts for individual people on your phone.

It's really annoying.but cus the texters are your friends,so as their good friend,I think you ought to text them or call them or tell them directly:"if there is no something urgent,please don't disturb me during my rest time",and specify the rest time period,for example "10 pm-7a.m".by the way ,if the messages texters are not all of your friends,you'd better set your phone silent than turn it off.my opinion. and a question for you:what did you mean by" wake the house hold up"?

that's annoying, not entertaining...

It simply means that they remember you. Even at the wee hours of the night they still have time to text you. Some of my friends do that too, but when they stopped, i kinda missed it. Especially now that we seldom see each other. Just be thankful that they exist, and if it annoys you, tell them (or text them) frankly. They may have a reason or two why they do that.

I would just have a talk with that friend and tell he/she that it is distracting you and to only text message you when necessary or during certain times of days. It can be expensive if you do not have a text messaging plan also! I am sure your friend will understand mines did when I had a discussion with her.

my wife has friends who are like that, but i can understand that for some of them are abroad and has different time there than what we have here. but she silent her phone so she wont be waking our son up, or if she is asleep then it wont wake her up. but she reads it all in the morning. it is true, that can wait when we wake up rather than wee ours in the morning.

I used to have friends like that. Texting me at 1 or 2am. I guesss they desided not to be my friend when i started answering them back at 4 or 5am. When i wake up.

hi jugsjugs, i do not have that type of friends,when ever they need they will talk to me,but most they are not using the text,there is no that situation come to me to switch off my mobile phone till now,i am using two with double sim cards phones,first of all i am having less friends,have a nice day

I only had a cellphone for two years and in that period of time I never text or opened a text. When I would go to sleep at night the phone would be shut off. I'm glad I got rid of the phone because it was giving me alot of pain in my head on the side that I would hold the phone. Please becareful using your cell phone. I honestly don't think they are healthy for us. Texting alone maybe ok. They did claim today though that 30 minutes or more on a cell phone in a day can eventually lead to a brain tumor.

That's so annoying. Just don't reply. They'll get tired. HAHAHA.

some people do this, text their friends late in the evening to annoy them. you should tell him frankly it does not funny to do. if he's really your friend, i'm sure he'll going to understand that.

Thats great! You have someone who really thinks about you all the time! You haunt a mind!! Don't you think its great?? I think its awesome! :) You may proceed n tell him/her in a very good way n let him/her know but beware not to hurt the his/her feelings!! :)

8 months back, 6-7 of my high school friends met for the first time in years despite living in the same city for 10 years!! We hadn't seen each other since high school and as you can imagine we were all very excited. We made a mail group (text group, if you please) and would text each other almost each day with how our day went (texting is free and we get to text all of them at the same time). One of the girls is a doctor and she has weird hours....and someone or the other was texting at some point of the day. It got to the point where I was glued to my cell phone all day...either texting or reading. So, I kept the ringer for message notifications off and would check only when I am free.

If it were me, I would tell these friends not to text me at certain hours of the day or night. That is, unless it's urgent. They might be good friends of yours but they need to think that you and your family might be asleep at these hours and that you wouldn't want to be disturbed. You can tell them in a tactful way that youall don't want to be disturbed. If they don't pay it any attention, I think you're doing the right thing by keeping your phone turned off at these hours. I keep my phone turned off at night.

I have another solution to that problem. I don't have a cell phone, so no-one can text me at any time day or night. I can imagine how disrubtive that would be. It would probably be like getting a regular call at all hours of the night. It is really aggrivating when it is something dumb that could wait till you were awake.

if you don't want to take heed when it notifies, put your mobile phone on silent and never take it beside your bed. leave it outside the room. then you can read all the messages in the morning...

my friends and family know that i don't like receiving unnecessary (eg., jokes) text messages at odd hours and they respect my wish. so i can keep my cell phone on all the time; i know that if my phone rings in the middle of the night it's something important.

Hi jugsjugs, My daughter in law used to do that to me until I had a talk with her however that stopped because I don't have an cell phone any longer. I hope that it works out for you. Snow
