Phone Calls-The Dropped Call

While verbally communicating with another individual via use of a telephone (primarily cell phones) one may expirience the “dropped call”. There are then several avenues one must take after the dropped call-

If other person is a long pauser-

It may be difficult to determine whether the phone connection has been lost, or the other person is simply stalling. Rules of engagement goes as follows:

1. Wait 5 seconds of silence
2. Give a quick “Hello” 3 times
3. Wait another 4 seconds
4. If line is still silent, hang up and retry the call

If other person is a “Long Rambler”

1. Once your phone has lost connection, quickly redial number
2. Announce “My phone lost connection”
3. Return to listening to the “Long Rambler” without interruption

Special Scenarios to the “Dropped Called”

• The individual whose phone was the “dropper” is responsible for the callback as soon as possible. Any delay will confuse the other talker and force him/her to initiate a callback, resulting in duel calls.
• A person driving through a “dead zone” of wireless connectivity is required to make the callback once he is out of said dead zone regardless of the fact he may be entering another, in which case he is responsible for making sure the call recipient is fully aware of the jeopardy the call is in, and its likelyhood of failure.
