If I try to call my SO or my mother, I have less than 20% chance of an answer. I have no idea why they have cellphones.

This is my whole family, they're glued to their phones whenever I'm around, but if I'm at work and I need to call one of them I have to ping pong all their phone numbers until one of them picks up, and even then sometimes they don't.

The trick is to send a text asking a simple question. Then once they answer, immediately reply "actually can I call to ask about it?"

Good, now you've wasted both a call and a text

[–] FlordaMan@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Both very precious resources.

Well time is, at least for most people.

I have same damn issue and I pay for all the phones.

[–] debil@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Tbf, phone is just one app among dozens of others, and quite rarely used one, too.

Gotta open a ticket and schedule an appointment.
