lovemy2 replied: Mine answers his all the time - its on ring and vibrate in case he is somewhere he can't hear it.....

Calimama replied:
Ditto! DH's is always on.. sending me dumb texts.

luvbug00 replied: Lars has turned it off, but more often he foregets it all together.

boyohboyohboy replied: dh always has it on, its me who doesnt answer the phone!

Cece00 replied: DH almost always answers, and he calls right back if he cant answer when I call.

Farelle replied: Ok so what's wrong with m DH!??! He NEVER has the phone turned on or answers it...........
What's the secret to getting him to use it??

Calimama replied:
Talk to him about it. Good luck.

Farelle replied:


If he listened to me, it would be turned on!!! LOL

luvmykids replied: Mine hardly ever answers, but calls right back. I never answer either though, if it's important I figure he'll call back right away

msoulz replied:
Same here! I can't get my DH off the phone some times!!

MoonMama replied: Yep always on.

gr33n3y3z replied: yes and no depends on his mood

CantWait replied: Ours is always on, but when dh has it, he never answers it. His excuse, it doesn't work in his work building (I know it does cause I volunteer out of the same building), or he didn't hear it.

Jackie012007 replied: His is always turned off - he isn't supposed to have it on at work, he's a manager and it looks bad, but he could at least have it on silent!!! So many times I've needed to get ahold of him and couldn't, both at work or on his cell!!

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Have the cell phone company put the phone on hold.... and when he can't understand what's going on... tell him you cancelled it, since he never uses it anyways.

That got my dh to smarten up. Now he calls back as soon as he can if he can't answer when I call.

gotoneson replied: You are not alone!
DH took DS to the park with his cell phone turned off and I deserpately needed to get in touch with him to find out if he had given DS medication before they left (I was still asleep). When he got home I ripped him a new one and since then, IF I remind him, he has his phone turned on.
Answer it? Not always...but at least I get a call back fairly quickly.

Twelve Volt Man replied: I usually have my phone on, but whether I answer it or let it go to voice mail, depends on whether or not I want to talk to you. My wife, on the other hand, NEVER keeps her's on, so it's impossible to reach her, unless she's expecting a call. She keeps it in the car, which drives me nuts.

the only time Jennie uses her phone is on the weekends when she goes shopping and sees that it is dead from the weekend before. I had to ask her the other day where her phone was and she didn't even know. She does take it when she goes on a walk with the kids. My phone took a digger couple weeks ago but other than that it was always with me.

Kaitlin'smom replied: its always on but he does not always hear it ring. He usually calles back as soon as he saw he missed my call.

ihave4kids replied: YES my dh always answers his. except of course when he's in the bathroom

but my dd(13) never does when she's in school..

indywndy_04 replied: He has a choice...he can either answer it and if he is busy, he can say 'let me call you right back' that way if it is an emergency he will know.....

Or - he can choose to not answer it, let it go to vm and then hear me complain to NO END because it REALLY ticks me off.

Now - if he is in a meeting, (which he never is) then I would understand, but other then that...he really has no reason to not answer. I dont call all the time though, usually only once in a while, so he should answer.

indywndy_04 replied:
My kis have cells too but they cant answer them in school.

Maybe your dd is the same way.

C&K*s Mommie replied: Mine does, if he is not able to then he will see that I called, or left a msg and will call back as soon as he can.

lisar replied: Me and my Dh have this thing when we are arguing we dont answer each others calls. It drives both of us nuts.

holley79 replied: My Dh is pretty good about answering his NOW. When I was beign hospitalized I couldn't get him on the phone. I ended up having to call a friend of his he was with and I was so ticked. I told him his phone was going in the trash if he didn't start answering it. Needless to say it was in the heat of the moment and I was scared spitless at the time.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: He doesn't always answer because sometimes he's with a client or in court, but he always has it on and usually calls back fairly quickly.

Farelle replied: Ok...so it seems like most of the DH's out there answer their phones! Thank-you everyone....of course that little bit of info will prob not change my DH but at least I can now say that I know of at LEAST a dozen husbands who ALWAYS answer their phones!!
On a side note.....I am convinced that my DH has adult ADD....?? I don't mean that in a sarcastic way, but the things he does have no other explanation.....???
