The good thing about a cellphone is that you can say you're at work when you're really at Bella's (see what I did there?). The bad thing is that, for some of us, you'd damn sure better be available to take the call, or someone might start wondering.
In response to the specific question, I was with a provider not too long ago when the phone went off. Because I'm one of those who'd damn sure better be able to take the call, I checked the number. I didn't recognize it, so we went back to doing what naked men and women do on a massage table. After I left, I checked my VMs to discover a minor domestic crisis had erupted on the day and at the hour I has elected to try to get away from it all. I didn't recognize the number because the caller's own phone -- which I would have recognized was dead -- and the caller was using another phone.
Cellphones can be the electronic equivalent of a ball and chain.
