I have phone phobia too! It's better than it was but wow did I used to feel guilty about it. We dont have caller ID so I let the answering machine get our calls. Those who know I dont like the phone know I will pick up. That includes my kids, some of my friends and one neighbor.

As for night calls, it annoys me when people call after 9 and we get alot of those, mostly for hubby. I've had people call at 6:30 in the morning.

I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one with phone phobia. I was beginning to think I really had a problem. Best part is I got over the guilt. Now I feel it's my right to not answer the phone if I dont want to.
