I was really miffed last evening

[January]

I don't like to turn it off because someone might try to call me with an important message. That happened when my uncle passed. My cousin called at 4 am to tell me.

that is what voice mail is for - they will leave a message and you would contact them first thing in morning.

Or you can set your phone to ring only from selected contacts- say, family members.

You said you were really angry about recieiving this call - if it is that much of a problem for you, there are solutions.
