Teens, if you have a cell phone do you intentionally turn the sound off so you can tell your parents that you?

Question

didn't hear it when they tried to call you...and blame the phone for doing it on its own?

Answer 1

No!!
Mom, when I have your phone on me it's different then my old one.
Your volume for the ringer is either too low or it sets itself for vibrate. Or it could also be that im in the arcade.
But whatever is the cause of it, I dont intentionally turn the sound off. I swear. Why would it even matter to turn the sound off. I dont mind my mother calling me, It's not as if im doing anything wrong or im someplace I shouldn't be. (and even if i was... not like the person on the phone would know, cause they can't see it)

Answer 2

I am not a teen but I do that all the time to people


sometimes I blame the phone for not ringing
sometimes I was just busy
sometimes my battery was too low to answer

Answer 3

Some do i guess but at other times the phone is in no service or they really dont hear it. At times i didnt hear my phone go off because of white noise. I usually keep it on vibrate though so i can feel it ring

Answer 4

Honestly i think i depends on the person and where that person is at. If we're at a loud place, no, we can't hear the phone. If we're at a place with no signal, we can't get your call. I'm sure your thinking, "no signal? Where are they going?". But even if you just go inside a Publix, your signal gets messed up. But like i also said, it depends on the person, so ask yourself where your kid is going, before you ask yourself about the sound.

Answer 5

No I just don't pick up, she knows, though, that I'm intentionally not picking up, so she just leaves a voice mail, but I'm 20 so she doesn't need to keep such close tabs on me, especially since I don't live at home anymore, but it's always nice to know that she still worries.

Answer 6

I would not do then because even iff it was off they can still have it on vib or something and you cant blame the phone. Plus if they are trying to call then it is important!

Answer 7

now and back I turn mine off via fact i don't experience like speaking. The ringing cellular telephone can now and back upload stress to existence. once you call her, basically depart a message saying hi, that way she would be in a position to't say you in no way call.

Answer 8

yes I think we all don't answer the phone some times. But what are they doing that they can't answer the phone that's the question that you should be asking

Answer 9

I always anser the phone when my parents call. If I don't answer, it means either I don't have service or it didn't go through. Don't necessarily think we do it on purpose.

Answer 10

i don't turn it down i leave the volume up so that i can her all friends calls and i have special ringtone for my parents so that i know when they are calling withount even getting up. I also say i forgot to turn it one or it was in my bag and i didn't hear it.
