Rules To Follow When Cell Phones Drop Coverage<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

\"Brokecellphone\"<\/a>You all know the drill and how annoying it is.\u00a0 You’re on a cell phone call with someone.\u00a0 the connection drops.\u00a0 You aren’t sure whose signal was worse.\u00a0 So you both call each other back at the same time and get each others voice mail.\u00a0 So you realize the other person is calling you back (you both realize this at the same time). So then you, and the other person, both decide to not dial again and wait for the other person to call you back.\u00a0 But they are doing the same so a few minutes go by and each of you are thinking that the other person is waiting for you to call them so you both again dial each other and get a busy signal<\/p>\n

LET’S STOP THE MADNESS. Let’s just follow this simple rule.<\/p>\n

If you are on a cell phone call and the call gets dropped, the new rule is that that person that initiated the call in the first place calls the other one back. No dual dials.\u00a0 No dual voice mails.\u00a0 No 3 minute delays to get the call going again.\u00a0 Its really this simple.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. if you initiated the call and it drops you call the other person back.<\/li>\n
  2. if you received the call and it drops you just wait for the call back.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Please pass this along or forward the link to this post to everyone you know.\u00a0 It will save us all time and frustration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
