... for texting?
It's one thing to be sending text messages late at night when you have been exchanging messages up to it getting late.... but it really bugs me when people send a text asking something trivial like how you are doing (out of the blue) after 10pm.
I don't go bed until after midnight... and I know most of the people who know me know that... but I don't care... it annoys me. |

I'm a night owl too so if someone texts me and I'm not asleep I'll reply to it. It annoys the hell out of me when people take hours to reply to a text though.
Siren goes to bed around 10pm without fail, but she'll often text me with little love notes like, "Could do with some cock babe, you coming up?"  |

I have a work phone which is required to be on during when I'm on shift or on call. This is the number I use on here, if I'm about I will reply but ideal cut off is about 11
But I hate people who text just a "hi" |

I generally wouldn't text others after 9pm unless I know it's someone (like my Mum) who's a nightowl and doesn't have to get up early in the morning. Plus she leaves her phone in the kitchen so if she's in bed she wouldn't get it until the morning anyway.
For incoming texts then any time is OK. If I'm awake and can be bothered then I'll respond. If I'm asleep, the tone doesn't wake me and I'll respond in the morning. |

With my mobile I'm not bothered as I leave it downstairs when I go to bed. If one of my Bro's has an urgent joke to text at 11.30pm then so be it, I will read if I'm awake!
My land line is another matter. If anyone calls after 9pm I automatically think someone has died. |

"If anyone calls after 9pm I automatically think someone has died."
Likewise, to the point that if someone does phone me after 10 on my landline I answer "who dead?"
Usually to be met by fits of giggles from one of my sisters or children! |

Same here, the land line is becoming the vip phone! |

"Unless it is an emergency, I don't answer my phone for anything after 10pm
.............."
How do you know if it's an emergency till you answer the phone? |

At night im fine cause im usually awake, plus jay always texts just as hes going to sleep (even if hes just rang me).
Its the mornings i care about, if its family or friends i dont mind cause if they ring early there must be a very good reason. My mum always rings me at 7 now to make sure im up.
However, one TWAT who i had shagged a couple of times thought it was ok to ring me at 7.30 one morning. Bet you can gues who never got another shag |

I don't see the point in having a phone and switching it off at night. As I recall nobody ever switched their landline off at night.
Yeah, it's possible you'll get the odd nutter and maybe the occasional wrong number but that's a small price to pay for maybe finding out a piece of vital information in time.
I can understand folks switching their fun phone off, but the vanilla phone for family, friends and colleagues ????? |

I am with you on that one, only 2 special people other than my kids are allowed to text later than 10pm, or early morning too. I once had a guy text at 5.30am to tell me he couldn't make our meet; he may have been up but I wasn't and didn't take too kindly to being woken up and told him so. Another thought it acceptable to ring me at 7.30am, another one I didn't meet |

Always have phone on, incase daughters need me, but also need it on for work.
What did annoy me was the other saturday morning my brother phoned me at 7.30am to ask a stupid question. When i asked him why he was phoning at that time of the morning, he said he didnt realise it was still so early as he had been up hours with the wee one. I could of chocked him  |

I (Scarlett)don't turn the phone off but it's always on vibrate as can't be bothered to keep switching it over when works finishes. Anyone who knows me knows unless there is a bomb going off I wake for nobody. Funny how I can still wake up to my alarm which sounds like birds tweeting. |

So, and I reiterate that I really don't get this, when people turn their phone off at 10pm or 11pm or whenever - what do they do with it?
For my part, I have my phone, switched on, at my bedside and ready for use should I need it.
I suspect the revelation that some people switch their phones off when they go to bed will surprise the mobile phone companies. |

"Only those who are close to me would dare text/ring me after 22:00h! "
I sleep so poorly that a best friend of mine will text me all through the night when he is in Miami each month as he knows I'll still be up. xxx |

"My mobile and landline phones are always on, I am on call for my kids and if they need picking up from work, their other halves running home etc. xx"
That seems entirely sensible. Try as we might we can never predict when an emergency we'd wish to know about is going to happen and switching our phones off overnight seems like folly.
For a lot of folks it's not just kids. It's parents, partners (current and ex) best friends and, I'm sure, many more.
I'd rather a false alarm wake up in the middle of the night than miss the last few hours of a pal.
That's before we consider the outgoing aspect of mobile useage. |
