dial-up
nowadays i do never know what to do when someone i don't want to talk to calls me on the phone. cellphone, that is. the first thought is to ignore it, and let it ring to oblivion - not much of a problem for me, since my cellphone has never any sound or ringtone activated, only the vibration mode. but people tend to keep trying to call us as long as they can, and it gets rather annoying to have a phone ringing or vibrating on your pocket or wallet. i could rejet the call, it would be as simple as to push a key stroke. but the thing is, today's phones are so modern and all that i really don't know what information do they give about the call - whether it failed or was terminated or disconnected, i really have no clue.
which is ironic, since lack of connection can generate an unintended connection - the fact that someone know that we rejected the call leaves us defenceless, with no excuses. if you ask me, this is the most serious invasion on my privacy. no one has the right to know if reject their phone calls or if i simply don't listen the phone ringing. we must all be able to lie if we want to keep relatively sane, don't we?
anyway, the best option is to take off the battery. drastic, i know, but doable. the pain is, some phones (like my own) do not keep track of the calendar and clock if i remove the battery. oh well. how i miss the old days of dial-up phones, when no one was avaliable everywhere...
