Hi friends,
The single most annoying thing I find is when people give you a missed call, expecting you to call them back. The fool I was, I would initially return the calls, and that person would chat for hours on end!
Now, I don’t bother returning calls, unless I know it’s someone close to me. I mean, like, today I gave my futon mattress to the dry cleaners, and the guy told me he would call me and let me know how much he will charge me. So, 15 minutes later, I received a call and I answered it. He hung up the phone. He was doing the “missed call” thing. I haven’t called him back. I mean, like, come on, do they think they are the only ones who have to spend the bills on phones? I also have to pay for my phone calls. It’s not like when I will call you, that it’s a free call.
I don’t understand why people cannot make calls, instead of making missed calls. Since you spent money on your cell phone, make calls from it—not just missed calls.
Aaaaargh! I hate this missed call concept! I don’t give people missed calls. I figured, if someone really wants to talk to me, they call me, and not expect me to call them back after they make a missed call. And if its very important they can call me again after making the initial missed calls!

I know I HATE THAT TOO :|
its useful sometimes,,like when yr meeting a friend some where to tell him am there
send a message then...because a missed call could imply anything...what if the friend were not able to meet you and he sends you a missed call....better to send sms.
Here in Oman until this year all pre-paid phone numbers began with 92 or 97 so people can easily tell who has pre-paid and who has post-paid. When people who have prepaid call someone with a regular line they always give a missed call and expect a call back. It's ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous is when someone on prepaid gives another prepaid guy a missed call. The explanation is always : "i'm out of credit" or "i forgot to top up". The classier ones send you an sms txt saying "call me, i'm low on credit". All bullshit of course.
But then again, it's bullshit too that until this year prepaid calls used to cost almost triple what post paid calls cost. If you had a regular billing mobile you pay as low as 25 baisas a minute while prepaid was 70 baisas a minute. Do you know how they fixed that? The reduced the price of prepaid calls to 55 and increase the price of prepaid to make the two closer to each other.
All mobile telecom companies suck.
