don't want to be contactable

You know sometimes you just don't want to be contactable, but folks
know you do have a mobile. What are some solutions to not being bloody
contactable all the time. Obviously switch it off, but does anyone
have any more subtle approaches/solutions !!

I put my on silent with no vibrate a lot.

That way it doesn't disturb you and when you feel like it you can
check your phone to see if anyone has called, then you can return
the calls that are important!

Alternatively, you could divert all calls to the answering service
and just allow texts.

Leave it at home, set it on silent ring and leave it in your bag or
pocket, just hit "busy" when they call.

Change your phone number and only give the new one to people who you do
want to contact you!?!

Have two phones - one for family and close friends and the other for everyone else.
Leave the second switched off at weekends.

I don't understand. If you don't want to be contacted, switch off. What's
the problem with that..?

You don't understand ? Because all you get is why isn;t your f*****g
mobile switched on !

Was seeking a more clever, subtle solution ?

What does it have to do with them?!!

It's your phone, you should decide when you want to receive calls.......

So it's switched off - tell 'em to live with it and they should try again
later!

How do they do that when your phone isn't on..?!

How about "because I don't want to be contacted"

Ok, Ok. How about getting an 0700 number.

Either that will stop people calling you - or you will be able to afford
to tell them where to go .

Only available on Orange and only at inflated rates.

my phone allows me to set certain numbers to ring through and filter out the
rest.

Text back: It's switched off for a reason. Get over it - get a clue - get
a life.

With a bit of luck they'll never bother you again.

My old phone [sony ericsson] had profiles that configured certain contacts
that I would accept calls from and the rest went straight to divert.

Just make sure that your VM message says "I am sorry, I am on another call
right now....". No one knows if you are really on the phone or not.
