Of course I put it on silent when in the theater or something. Occasionally it has run even when on silent...don't know what that's about...but anyway, it's my only phone, and if someone tries to reach me, I'd like to know, and get back to them soon if possible. So no, I don't think you're full of crap. :-) BTW, I just found your blog yesterday and I like. :-) I always leave mine on too, mostly because if someone calls and doesn’t leave a message, I’ll still know they called.

If that's the case, leave it in your car or something. At my job, like many others, its important not to have these kinds of distractions, so of course it's perpetually on vibrate (saves me money - I never have to buy ringtones since I never use them anyway). This makes it a little difficult to tell whose calling me - but most people don't msg me, so my wife knows that, if something important comes up, sending a txt message is the best way to get my attention. It's actually very convenient and polite when I'm in meetings - a quick peek, and no getting up to excuse myself unless it's a true emergency.

I do power cycle it once a week but it is turned on right away. I have my family call me on my cell instead of my phone at work. I also do the double call system for extreme emergencies. The only flaw I have in this system is what others (spouse) call an emergency. I have my phone on all vibrate 8 am to 4 pm (work hours) and then on full ring all other times. I do use special ring tones for the most important contacts (spouse, dad, children, etc...). I tend to leave my cell phone on 24 hours a day.

My wife, children, and I all use the same signal for urgent needs. It has not been used often, but it is good to have it available.
