Cell Phone Contacts

How long do you keep em if you dont talk to that specific person?
Do you keep the non-emergency police number?
Do you keep the numbers of people you dont wanna talk to?
Do you answer when an unidentified number pops up?

I was just going through my contacts to save the numbers I need into my SIM card.
I have 48 contacts.
6 DNAs (do not answers) I have no clue who these numbers belong to, but I know I dont wanna talk to them.
I deleted some people I havent talked to in months, if they need me, they know to text me.
I dont keep my mom's number in my contacts or SIM card.
I dont answer calls from people I dont know. My sister said I should because it could be someone whose phone broke or the number changed, but I dont care. I dont like to talk on the phone anyway.
I need a new phone. Two more weeks.

i wish I didnt have a cell phone, but I need it.

 

I change my number so often, I have found it pointless to keep contacts in my phone.

I do have a list on my computer, so I can find a number.

One cell phone I answer all the time. The other phone I do not answer at all. It is just for calling out.

Lately I have been using Skype. It is a good way to keep in touch with people.

I do not answer unknown numbers.

 

I don't do anything to my contact list until I have to pay attention to it for example for another sim card (which I only had to change once by the way).
I got my first and only mobile phone about 3 years ago. I use it as an alarm clock, to take a pic every once in a while and yeah, I generally answer all calls, even if they're unknown. I always keep it as short as possible, never got the fun of hour-long conversations via the phone. I thought my brother thought the same but it seems he changed his mind now he's got a girlfriend

 

i dont own a cell phone. well i do but its not activated and i havent used it since september.

even then it was just for work and i only had my home phone,work office and bosses cell stored on it..

personally i hate the things..

 

i have 32 contacts. all of which are people i actually associate with, or useful numbers, such as work etc. i don't have the police in there, but i possibly should do. i have it at home though pinned on the cork board.

i can't stand talking on the phone and i rarely text. if someones number isn't in my phone, i just don't like/associate with them enough.

and i never answer unknown numbers or withheld numbers. never. because noone in my phone book does with hold and they are the only people i have an interest in talkin to. if like you say they changed numbers, and couldn't get a response, they could email me.

 

every few months i go through my phone and go through the letters and delete the people i don't talk to... it seems like then they start to talk to me again when i don't have their number! hahanehw

 

Hmm, I use the multicategories.But I change phones very regularly.
Some ( business)categories it could be 100 or more people.
But my "hardcore" is much less people.

 

I hope I get a blackberry for my birthday.

 

I hope I can do 10 more years with mine :biggrin:

 

haha

 

I want a Phone that shoots a Laser ..
I have 4 phone and dont use any of them.. & Clear all contacts after placing calls..

 

Don't have a blackberry though! I just ment my cellphone.

 

Ya,I figured.

 

I have a lot of contacts and I rarely delete them because sometimes I get nostalgic and want to meet up with old friends.

 

I get rid of numbers as I get rid of people. Just seems natural.

If we don't talk but we didn't fall out, I'll keep the number until I find out it's non working.

Edit: I've got 28 contacts, but there are more that should be in there and aren't, like my moms etc.

 

I have 10 contacts.

most of them are family.

 

I only kept the numbers of my close friends, family, the vet, hospital and the salon I used to visit stored in my phone. I didn't renew my contract so I need to get a new phone and I'm thinking about going back to prepaid. I rarely talk to anyone on the phone.

 

I will scan through my contacts every so often, and if it's been about a month or so without speaking (I'm talking about people who I've met recently, not old friends or family) I delete. Gotta do it regularly, otherwise I have a buildup of numbers from random bar people who I don't even remember, or even classmates who I know I'll never see again after the class, just takin up space, making it harder to find the numbers I'm really looking for.

 

i cleared a bunch of my contacts when i got my new phone. it was needed.

 

When I'm really bored I will delete some people I know won't work.
