Well, if you don't count telemarketing calls and wrong numbers (I get a lot of calls for some woman named Ellen who used to have my number) then yes, easily.

The last time I got a social phone call was over a month ago -- and that was only because I sent her an email asking her to please call me because I was having an especially brutal day.

The last time somebody called me just to talk, without being prompted? I honestly can't remember, but I would say it was at least three months ago.

Yes, it makes a person feel invisible.

try that when you have a yellow pages ad saying you are in business and then the phone does not ring...I have a cell phone for everything all calls...I have been thru droughts where noone calls me...not even my own mother...who does not usually call me I call her....it sux....but when no business calls happen I get this sinking feeling that I am never going to be successful in my business enough to live on self employment.....

Hard to say, but I'm glad I'm not alone in this. If I died in the house, no one would know because there's no one who would care. i hear of people having 60-100 people at parties, etc. If I were to invite 60-100 people I would have to go through the phone book A-Z

I can relate, and wish that we both didn't have this problem. If I want to have connections with people, it is up to me to do the calling, inviting, etc. Wish it were the other way around, but right now it isn't.

Try more like months and years.

I know it foreveralone1.
It's like why do I even have it sitting on that shelf anymore? Mine hasn't rung in forevea, but I'm still paying that 35 bucks a month and thinkin "what do I keep giving them all my money for just to keep this number that no one calls?!""

Yeah, I've thought about cancelling my phone too. I probably should. I do get occasional job-related calls from my boss, but I could handle those on my cell phone.

As bad as it is to have a phone that never rings, a worse trigger for me is email. As in, I never get any except for the occasional spam.

I feel for you princessgwenda paying that much for a phone that doesn't ring. That's why I use a prepaid one that only costs me around 7 dollars a month.

Molly327 is right on about emails too. If wasn't for spam or companies advertising emails I won't get any. I have to watch postings on DS just to emails from DS.

This is just awful that we all have to go through this. Its just not a normal way of life. I find myself terribly jealous of those who have families and friends and no one can understand what we are going through unless you go through it yourself.

God I didnt thought that there are some people out there who didn't get any phone calls I every day wish that at least someone will wonder if I'm stil alive or dead but guess its not just me we should call each other instead of waiting for some others I hate this feeling when you see your younger sisters phone won't stop ringging and yours won't start

Very rarely. But I decided a while ago that I have to ring round and take the initiative. Still, it would be nice if somebody sought out my company for a change....

My kids call me occasionally. Usually when they are walking somewhere or waiting for their flight to somewhere. My mom calls when she wants me to order books for her. My husband calls to say he'll be late which is puzzling because I don't know what he thinks not late is.

But, a friend calling just to chat....no I can't remember the last time that happened.

I get a lot of calls, mix of work and friends - but the friends calls are usually calls to plan things, not to chat - most weekends I get no calls, any social get togethers are preplanned. I am not the best at calling either, I often text or email then get together in person. I have a couple parties a year, but the most that show are 15-20 people. I am really happy when that happens! I don't have 50 or 60 friends but I am starting to have a lot more appreciation for the friends I do have! Try meetups and volunteering, etc. The phone ringing is not the only example of a full life, I can attest to that....!

Whenever I seem to get a social call, I'm either driving, or busy working, which is never ideal. I think alot of ppl are quiet these days due to the challenging situations that many of us are in.
There's probably several ppl that would like to call you to say hi, but once they've said it, they might not have much else to say apart from their personal problems, which they're already trying to get their heads round.
The good thing about nobody calling, is that when someone does call, it feels so much better. If ppl phoned me all the time, I think it'd bug me a bit.
3-5 calls a day would be nice, but so would a win on the lotto. Lol

YES and do not like it at all.
