I had the same problem, I just stopped answering her calls and eventually she stopped calling. Then when I was ready to talk to her again I called her and blamed my not answering her calls on being very busy.

You could also tell her, assuming she's calling your cell, that you need to save minutes and battery time in case of an emergency. You could say it without directing it at her so it's not so personal (though, sometimes, you have to make it personal).
Or maybe, you might want to get to the root cause of why she calls so much. Maybe, as her friend, this is an opportunity to help her move past some problem that is bigger than her calling too much.
Another thing you could do is answer and ask her if you can call her back. Call back when you are ready, and the make it clear you are returning her call and are ready to know what is was she needed. It's kind of like behavior modification.

Tell her once that you are too busy to talk, then ignore the next calls until you are ready to talk with her again. Then limit the call to a couple of minutes by saying "I don't have much time, please make it quick" If it's about nothing, state "Couldn't that waited until we saw each other in person? I have to go. Talk to you later". She should get the hint. If she doesn't, tell her it cost's you to answer each call and you can't afford it. You will only call her back when it's free.

I would be polite and let her know that her calling you so often is disrupting your schedule. If it had to come to that. If she is a friend she will understand. I don't think she would take it badly. I agree with Joe.Tend to be tactful. Try my best to never hurt any feelings. Especially if a situation could be handled graciously. Good luck. Have a great day.

don't sense like it is your fault in any respect. your acquaintances putting blame on you is the thank you to coach far flung from taking accountability themselves. no person forced your pal to tension, he took it upon himself to achieve this. You left for the reason which you have been being to blame for the reason which you had to artwork the following day. in the adventure that your acquaintances shop blaming you i think of you would be able to desire to rally them up, flow to dinner and function an exceedingly blunt communicate with them. they are all of age to drink meaning they are all adults and able to springing up possibilities for themselves. no person would desire to be appointed sober driving force, somebody would desire to step up and achieve this. i think of you adult adult males must additionally hit upon a bar closer than 40 5 min far flung from you! issues will artwork themselves in and out the adventure that your acquaintances can no longer recover from it, then you definitely would desire to reassess why you're acquaintances with them and if this is a 2 way highway or no longer.

Don't you have caller ID? Stop taking the calls all the time. Sooner or later the calls will become less and less. Or talk to her and tell her the truth. Call me less please!
