Are you like me? Are you always fiddling with your phone and somehow turning the sound off? I have a house phone, but I also get alot of calls, notifications on my cell which of course rings or makes a noise when they come in. Sometimes, I will start thinking..I wonder why my phone is so quiet..only to notice, a number of missed calls and notifications, because of course..I have managed to turn the sound off again..Do you ever accidentally turn your sound off? I have done it several times now.

No but I do sometimes turn the volume off and then forget I have! So, I end up missing things too. I hate when I do that.

Yes i forget mine is on silence at times. I turn mine on silence when I'm sleeping and sometimes forget to turn it off. I have lost my phone before and left it on silence that was not fun lol. For now on i keep mine on low ringtone and vibrate when sleeping.

Since, I do misplace my phone from time to time, I like being able to call it if it is missing.

I never turn my ringer on my cell phone off. My girlfriend has been doing that a lot lately. And it is hard to get her on the phone when she's not home. I know those annoying phone calls can make someone crazy.

@snowy22315 Well, what to say. I don't know. I guess I will say, How Now!!! A little vintage Howard Stern humor.

We only use a landline and we get very few calls and most are junk calls.

No, I can't remember doing that, though I miss call sometimes when I carry my phone in my bag. I just don't hear it ring.

My phones always on silent. So no accidental silencing here. Its only on loud when i have a call waiting on, or when babysitting.

No I just keep mine turned off, especially this year because Tony lives here and is sick and sleeping a lot. People know me by now, I did not keep the phone on, leave a message.

They don't bother me too much, and other wise I might forget to look at the phone.

Yeah, I keep it on silent mode when I'm somewhere where I can't attend a call, or answer it. (*_*)
