Yes why not. I'm happily married but have female friends who I call.

It is a bit rude to use someone else's phone to make a call wtihout asking.\n\nI would keep a wary eye on this one.

Yes, it's like cellphones and other personal technology. People who have them seem to be part of there own world. I'm already interoverted so I don't own a portable MP3 player for that reason.

Well do you work in an office?  Are you supposed to be on the phone at work?\n  I work in an office and just about all of my conversations the other people can hear.  I rarely make personal calls from work so it's not a big deal very often.  \n  If you have an office first thing to do is close the door.  If not and you are on more of an open area what you should do is to just tell them that it is just work stuff and really isn't important.\n  If it is personal stuff then that's another issue. When I got personal calls, I always kept them very short and to the point.  I never bring my cell phone to work, and alot of companys frown on people  who do.\n  Being on the other side of this, nothing annoyed me more than when I saw people at work chatting on their cell phones for 20 minutes at time to their wives, girlfriends, ect.  It's just not the time for that.  I have had employees wives call work 5-10 times a night on a constant basis because they had issues at home.  I have even taken it to a point where when they would call I had a conversation with the wife saying . "look James can't talk to you right now, and your constant calling is gonna get him in trouble very soon. Please stop calling here on a nightly basis."

Most software-based answering systems should have this capability (or even a low cost digital answering machine, if you don't want your computer running all the time).\n\nA quick check of Google and Yahoo for call recording software gives lots of results.

Some time when you're on the phone with a friend and your man is in the room, say something like "Yes, I saw that new bluetooth (or whatever it is you want) and I just love it!!"  "I want one sooo bad".  \nGood luck, I hope you get what you want.

Yes!  My good friend chatted along time and talked on the phone for awhile.  Then they met.  Spent the weekend together..  Got married 6 months later.  Its been 9 yrs and still going strong.  I also know that my babysitter met her now husband on the net and they have been married for 5 yrs now and also still going strong.  And all had kids from different relationships and now both couples have a large extended family. Its been awesome for them all.  My private joke to them both is The Internet Love Family!  LOL

I think it is possible to have friends of opposite sex, but what concernes me about your story is that he  is not open with you about this friendship. He should have no problem with you being present during his conversations with her. Another thing is after you get married, friends fade away a little and your spouse becomes a focus of your life, so it is unnatural to spend that much time even with your closest friend. If you have concerns about her, tell him about it, and if I was in this situation, I would insist that he only talks to her when I am around at least for a while so you could see for yourself that there is nothing more to the story. If she is just a friend as he claims she is, he won't have a problem with you being around while he is talking to her. But make sure you keep track of all the conversations you are aware of and see if those are the only ones that appear on the phone bill, but do it without him knowing that you are keeping track for two reasons: you won't come across as insecure and controlling and if he is doing something wrong it will be easier to catch him. I hope I'm making sense. Try not to accuse him of anything right away, just tell him that his relationship with that woman makes you unconfortable and you want to work out a situation that will work for both of you.

You can use the phone to make free telephone calls or almost free calls. This alone is a dream come true for those who do not have a fortune for making phone calls Especially long distance calls. There is a software called skype you can download if it isn't already on your computer.  Many cell phones now have ip addresses as well so you can call your friends and acquaintances and business associates. The security can be very high for these calls.

Absolutely not true. The amount of time people spend on the phone is more related to naturally occurring behavioral conditioning. That is, the more you do it the better you become at it. While there are stereotypically different communication styles between men and women (aka what Men are from Mars ... tries to describe), these stereotypes don't really hold up well when explored scientifically.

The person who is a phone a friend for someone is told that their friend is on the show, so to keep close to the phone.\n\nHowever, in the Australian version awhile ago, the contestant chose to phone a friend, they called and all we heard were the engaged beeps...they lost that lifeline! So if the phone is engaged, it's too bad, thats still counted as phoning a friend.

No matter how intimate a relationship, there is a proper level of privacy.  It's been accepted since the dawn of civilization that reading letters addressed to someone else is a violation of their privacy.  In the "communication age" that extends to forms such as email, instant messaging, or personal cel calls.  \n\nAnswering a call intended for someone else on their private line without permission is exactly the same as opening their letters.  It may be nothing important, it may be extremely personal...but the whole point is that either way, it's not your concern to figure out which it is.  In the real world, we all let significant others invade our privacy on some level or another, so every couple will have a different comfort level on this issue.  The key is that you both know where that level is; otherwise bad, bad things happen!

My G/F and I live many miles apart. We can only get together on weekends, so that means during the week, we tie up the phone lines all the time. We have no problem talking on the phone.\nWe talk about everything under the sun and act as though we are in the same room together.\nJust start talking and if it's the right person, holding a conversation will not be a problem.

A bit drastic. But given that a lot of cell phone owners are incapable of simple courtesies like switching the ringtones off in lectures or other events and not answering their phone if they are in the middle of a conversation with somebody else,  it makes sense as an educational measure. \nNow people can start learning talking to each other directly instead of talking through a cell phone. People survived for a surprisingly long time without cellphones, if cell phones would all break down tomorrow it wouldn't be the end of the world.
