The only reason my phone should ring after 9 pm is if someone is dead, or dying. There are no excuses. It's simply bad manners.

I have had to call my friend at 11:20. His parents did answer the phone and after I explained my need to find out a question for biology, they understood. They told me to not call back so late anymore, but it was ok in the end. This one is really up to you, if his parents are nice, do it and say this is a one time thing, if not, don't do it and wait until morning

TOO LATE! Sorry, but you really shouldn't call if it is 10:30. I think the cutoff is 9 or 9:30.

The rule at my house growing up was: no calling anyone's house after 10 and my parents did not wanting anyone calling our house that late either. It's just not a good idea.

10:30 is late for calling a family as most parents are probably in bed for work. wait until tomorrow.

If you know that the person lives with others, and you don't otherwise know that they are all night owls, I wouldn't call past 9 or 10 at the latest.

Don't call - it's too late. If he lived alone and you thought he might be up, it would be ok, but since he lives with his parents, you shouldn't do it.
