How do you figure? My phone *never* gets turned off. Period. Not in theatres, not in churches, not in other places of public assembly.
Never.
However, I do set it on do not disturb (Which is a profile I created, is completely silent, does not vibrate, and routes all calls to voicemail (although it does still log them on my caller ID)
Why don't I turn it off? Well, in short, I want the calls logged on my caller ID.
