Phone manners are dying: The rules of respect we should bring back Gender 6 min ago

The message gave the impression that I was in touch with whoever had given her my phone number, and I was fully briefed about the phone call we were to have.

The other lessons I have learned about using my phone have built on that, such as, instead of leaving someone with 16 missed calls, leave a message after the first call goes unanswered.” These incidents also reminded me why common sense tells us that you should not share someone’s phone number without letting them know.
