At this point, I do not call them again for two-three hours as they might be too busy and can't pick the phone or ignoring me. In case I don't, I wait for at least an hour and then give a call. If they respond to the text, then I've my answer. Can you give me a call or text me back when you have the time? In case they don't pick the phone this time, I will leave a text via any communication channel available like voicemail, FB, WhatsApp etc. If it is the latter case, they will call me back. But before this, I wait for two minutes in case they heard the ring but couldn't pick the phone in time.
I try calling them the second time as they might have been away from the phone and couldn't hear the ring. I try to call that person 2 times unless they pick the phone. However, there is a procedure I usually follow. Though, there is no written etiquette regarding the number of times one should try calling or wait for certain time period during each subsequent call. Because if it isn't, why can't they wait 10 minutes? (to give me time to write a message "I'm in a meeting/Can't talk right now/I'm in cinema can I call you back in two hours") If the person didn't hear the phone ringing, why would they hear it five seconds later? If they left their phone somewhere, how would they answer it five seconds later? If they didn't answer in time, they WILL call me back right away.Īs your cousin does, I assume that if someone calls me over and over, it's urgent. I never call q second time just after first one.
Because it's easier to write an answer (via sms, email, whatsapp, hangouts, slack or whatever) than talk on the phone. Call me back when you have the time or just write back". So I follow with a message "I called to talk about this-and-that. With cell phones I ALWAYS assume that the person chose to not answer my phone call because of various reasons, but the result is that they cannot TALK with me. A company phone being unanswered usually means there is no one around to pick it up. If you're calling a private landline, then there is a possibility that people didn't hear it as they may be in another room. It all depends on whom and how you are calling someone. I just wanted to ask her if she would join me for pizza on Wednesday. I'm from France but I believe that there might be some cultural differences that I'm also interested in. This got me thinking, is there some etiquette regarding the number of time one should try calling someone else if it's not for an emergency? And how long you should wait between each call? However, I do believe that trying a third time without waiting, at least, one hour would have been too much. She didn't say such a thing so I believe that calling twice is fine. I'm afraid that me deciding to call her twice has prompt her to answer because she thought it was important when it wasn't. She usually works from home on Monday and I had no idea she was in a meeting. When she finally answered, she told me that she was in a meeting but decided to answer me anyway. I called her once and she didn't answer so I decided to try a second time right after my first attempt. Last Monday, I wanted to ask a question to my cousin and decided to phone her.
