isn't this gadget cellphone is rampant to all ages and to all of the nations? but what on earth a certain user could not distinguish resting hours when one is sending you messages that is not important as emergency messages. what is the importance of cellphone usages to each one. i guess, some of us abused it and do not know the real essence and how to use it in real essence. too bad, we were being blinded by load promos that enable us to send messages inappropriately. because if loads are sold expensively, there would be no ways to waste it with nothing much importance. what can you say so.
well direct to annoying reasons. who would be happy when you are in the deep of your night naps and in the dawn you will certainly received texts that are not so important. how would you do like that? how many times i will be awakened by the ring of the cellphone. well, of course, to know how important is the messages you will read it then to your dismay you cannot easily get back to sleep for you were being disturbed with nonsense texts of hi's and hello's and saying that person is not sleeping yet so he/she wanted to text you and expecting you to response too.
so how this concern story let you relate the same experience? thanks for sharing

Hello missjahn, yes, it is really annoying if people would text you in the middle of the night just to say hi. But come to think of it, maybe they have a problem, they just don't text it right a way. They want to see first if you are available for the time and so, they can talk things through.
If you don't like to be disturbed, I think it's not bad to turn your mobile in silent mode so you can sleep soundly. Well, it's just a way of taking things lightly...

a good option but would not likely choose it like that because important calls would reach at you. so if they have problem, that is not called inappropriate text, but if they are doing it because of fun, that would be one and that is annoying and disturbing.. thanks for joining guys :)

i am just scared if turning it to silent mode maybe because there were important messages or calls that needs attention so that is why is not advisable for doing it like that. i guess, these texters would know how to put limits to everything what they are doing because they do not know how important is resting to others. so thanks for joining here :O)

Here when you load your cell phone, it comes free with some local, some national sms, depending upon how much you loaded, because of this free, people send sms, never bothering what and whom they are sending, more over there are free sms sites from where one can send pre-written lengthy sms; i have requested my contacts not to send to me
more over there are sms like your cell phone own .....$
Thanks for sharing friend

Hi missjahn!
I also received a lot of this kind of annoying texts even during the time I am already sleeping. what I do is that I keep my cellphone in a silent mode at night.

hello there aries
good option... silent mode as i considered it as a risky one because maybe true texts or calls informing/asking help you because there are emergency things that needs to be attained to is reaching for you, so that is why, even if it is in silent mode, i let it vibrate for important calls and texts. thanks :)

Hi friend, lot of persons abusing the cell phone by sending unwanted messages in unwanted times. This kind of unwanted texts will give more irritation to us. We must avoid this kind of activities if we have this habit. We are simply wasting our time as well as other persons time by sending unwanted sms

I used to work for a call center and we did inbound and outbound calls. The company had this policy not to call customers (we would call them or leave messages on their voicemail to inform them about some security issue on their credit cards) between 9am to 9pm on their timezone. Call center is in the Philippines and the customers are from the US so daytime here would mean nighttime in the US. The point is that companies implemented the rules such as these because it's simply rude to be calling people in wee hours of the morning or late at night.
As for my personal experience, people or sounds that would disturb me while trying to get asleep or in the midst of my deep sleep is just so not cool. This is even worse when during insomniac times, those times that you're really trying to get asleep but you can't, and when you finally do, boom! Somebody or something disturbs your hard earned sleep. Talk of bigtime irritation.

yeah, exactly... same thing that i like to imply too. very annoying and so disturbing. this habit of mine that if somebody would awaken me at dawn, it will count to how many hours for me to make a soundless sleep. that is why, everyone must put some bounds when they are using cellphone just to bear with them because they cannot just simply sleep and still that time, they want to have fun but cannot think of others to text to and it was you being chosen luckily - :D
gosh... thanks for joining anyway :)

If we are only living in USA that could be opposite. Sending text messages are expensive while calls are cheap unlike here it is vice versa. Since it is just text messages then it doesn't really bother me at all because I can read it later. But if that is a call of course I will hate it.

ah really... thanks for this info. in here, texting and calling features were so cheap. the load companies offered lots of promos so that everyone in here can contact their love ones and the rest in a cheaper rate that everyone might enjoy it. so that is why, so easy to call or to text in here without heavy budget for loads in their cellphones.
thanks for joining ;)

Well, my case is a bit different than yours. I do not have many friends, so the messages and calls I receive, there are not many and mostly come from the same persons.
I still use this technique. When I want to rest, I put my phone in offline mode, in this way, at that time, no one can call me, and if messages are sent to me, I can easily read them when I wake up, quietly.

i just cannot do it because i am afraid that an important or some emergency call might be ignored or cared less or cannot be attended because i silent the mode of my cellphone. so what i am hoping for is that, if it is not so important, try not to bother anyone at resting hours because doing it is just like a disturbance to another party. learn to wait in a proper time when you do it. so thanks for joining :)

Yeah quite irritating and annoying especially if it is just a chain message or scam messages that informing that you won something or whatsoever.Or when you are expecting a message then you will receive a message from unknown number then when you open, it was just a scam telling you that you won a certain amount or sometimes offering condo or insurance.

Oh I hate it, too. Some people just don't know manners. In my culture/country, it is already an unwritten manner rule not to disturb anyone through the phone after 8pm, unless it's an already made appointment or emergency... still, I have relatives and acquaintences who call me after that time. It's so annoying. Then I just want to relax, watch a good movie... not to speak over a phone (text for me is okay, because it's not ringing constantly)... there was a friend of mine when I was a teen, like 13 or so, who kept calling me at night... not even calling me, but ringing... because in her idiotic teen world and fad manner it meant that she was thinking of me, and she expected me to ring back... and SHE was offended when I turned down the phone after 9pm, because once I had another friend around, and, rightfully, she was annoyed by hearing my phone ringing like 5 times that night already... and that I'm rude not to ring back and she might not be important enough for me...
also, I hate surveyer people call me way too late, like after 5pm, then I don't have the energy to care about them...

hello doroffee
very simple common sense that does not required arithmetic solutions to derive a certain understanding in discipling or restricting yourself in having a proper usage of this gadget. i hope everyone would come to know what is important messages and what is disturbing one. so thanks for joining :)

It really is annoying especially if you're the type of person who can't go back to sleep easily. Once I tried to just switch my cellphone off. Bad move, since I missed messages from my mom about my cousin being in an emergency. Same thing if I put it in silent mode. My friend suggested that each promotional text I receive, I replied to opt out of their loop for messages since all their promos can be searched online if ever I need to know something. Since then I rarely receive some promo messages anytime of the day.

oh yes, that is what i am talking about. turning the cellphone off would let us missed the emergency calls/texts like that. oh but never received promos during late at nights. just those messages from those people who do not want to sleep yet and would like to enjoy with someone text messages... thanks for joining :)

Well personally I receive calls and messages at all hours of the night. I really do not have a choice, as I'm always moving to different countries, so I know people in different places in many different time zones. So I have no choice.
If the phone bothers you so much, then just turn it off. IT has a power switch for a reason.

although that is the best option to do but not advisable for me because turning your cellphone off means blocking communication from other respective person who used to contact you. what about if that call or text is an emergency one, how they can reach me. so for me, i may suggest that, everyone must put limits to everything they do including cellphone usages. so thanks for joining :D

I definitely agree with you. I guess everyone, including adults, should learn to respect the time of other people. Sensitivity is perhaps the best word for that. They have to put their selves on the shoes of others so that they can understand better that rest time should be respected, and that if it is not an emergency, then don't text others during the wee hours of night.

oh yes, everyone must understand that. in order for that to get settled, we perspectively turning the cellphone off is not a good vice but we should accompany ourselves with proper discipline when and what kind of messages should be sent during late hours in the night and dawn... thanks for joining :) and for understanding
