A true story - so glad I am not the only one being outsmarted by my smart phone.
A vet took blood samples from a dog belonging to an elderly couple. After the results came she phoned repeatedly to share the results with the owners. They never answered their phone. Then they came to the clinic - furious because they had not been called. The receptionist checked the records which indicated that the vet had attempted to call them multiple times. She said as much. Owner said, but that is impossible, I had the phone in my pocket all the time. Receptionist said: Is it there now?
Owner: Yes
Receptionist: Well let me try your number, maybe something is wrong with your phone. She phones from her mobile - nothing happens. She tries a second time. The message that comes up says that the number is not available. On closer inspection, they find that the phone is switched off. Oh, says, receptionist, that is why we could not get through. Upon which the owner says, but I always keep it switched off, otherwise the battery just goes flat. Receptionist says: But if it is switched off, no one can reach you.
Owner: What kind of a phone is that, I am taking it back to Telstra right now!
