I just changed my telephone number and had it listed as private because I'm sick and tired of people who have my number TOTALLY disrespecting the fact that I have kids and a husband who have to go to sleep at 9pm every night.... and leaving stupid messages on my voice mail like, "It's me, call me back." 6 times in a row. They know I have caller ID, they know I am a busy mommy, and they know I call them when I'm able.
What's a graceful way to tell people I don't particularly want them to have my new number? Is there really a way to do it without being a meanie???
I'm not trying to be mean to them... I'm just tired of being hassled by nonsensical calls at all hours of the day and night, and having to dial up voice mail and go through 15 stupid messages to get to the important stuff.

The reason I don't just use my cell is because we live in an area where we can't get signal.

Blame your husband, "He doesn't want me giving out our number." : )
Say you have a stalker and can't let the number get out.
Sounds like you just need to put your foot down and tell people what kind of telephone etiquette you expect.

get your friends number and never give out yours if they ask why just say your respecting your husbands wishes.
