...while at home. He would be completely unreliable in an emergency. I'm tired of his dad calling me to tell him to pick up/turn on his phone.

Maybe he just doesn't like his father.

His reasoning is because he's trying to save the power.

Srsly.

I actually do this. But in my defense, I would be unreliable anyway.

These, I will get the call and messages but the phone is on vibrate.

I have the apple watch on often so I get the message or call most of the time anyway. It has already come in handy for an emergency call when I was at work.

My phone is always on silent. Vibrations are okay and make enough noise when on a solid surface. Ringtones are just fucking annoying.

I have it on silent all the time, I just don't want to be bothered. Doesn't matter who's trying to call me. If they have an emergency then I'm the last person who you should be trying to call, I just don't give a fuck

I keep everything on, full volume. I need to hear when someones calling or I need to find my phone.

I know you've already set the precedent with his dad, but you've gotta have a conversation with him and tell him (respectfully) that you can't be around to parents his child. Tell him he needs to have a talk with his kid if that's what he wants.

I don't need the sound notification because I check my phone at least every 20-30 minutes anyways. I do keep it on full volume when I'm sleep though, for emergency reasons.

I don't do that but turning off your phone is very liberating in a way. Disconnect from the system for a few hours reminds you on how stressful social media is.

My phone stays on vibrate

I wear a smart watch that also notifies me when I get texts/messages so I don't need my phone to make noise

What blows my mind is the people who leave the typing noises on. Like, how do you live with that much noise

Oh yes. I absolutely can't stand it when I am around someone who does that. It is just awful and horrible and should be illegal.

I keep my volume on because I like my ring and notification sounds. Even if I don't answer.

I have a buddy who would keep his phone on silent because he was "sick of his dad asking who he's texting."

Dude's 34 and hasn't lived with his parents for like ten years.

Ive always kept mine on just vibrate as long as I can remember, but Im most likely always going to notice that.

It has occurred to me that some kind of emergency could happen in the middle of the night and its unlikely the sound of it vibrating would be enough to wake me.

Blame robocallers, scammers, and collection companies. Getting bombarded with them long enough and you'd keep your phone on silent all the time too.

Assholes ruined phones.

Unless it's a weekend, if I took 2 hours to reply to a work related text, they're either calling me or sending people to find me

I have a coworker who does this. One night he overslept during a snowstorm and no one could get hold of him. We thought he died on the road.

The easy and obvious answer is to delete or not give a shit about social media, after a week you will wonder why you never ditched it sooner.

I keep mine on silent to this day because my old roommate had collection agencies calling all the time. I haven't lived with him for 18 years and have a number that is in no way connected to my old number.
