    This for me as well. I've had two internet friends try to call my mobile before, out of the blue, and both times I just sat there staring at it like a deer in the headlights before eventually rejecting the call ^^'
    Same with Skype where a few have done that.

    I'd say give me some warning first, but that would just give me more time to worry about it anyway.

    I'm just really not good at random chat calls. In round table stuff like forums I am comfortable chipping in, but am not very good at 1-to-1 conversation, I don't know what to say. The phone brings out the worst in this as it's instant and you can't even grin at them awkwardly or busy yourself with taking a sip from your drink or whatever, it's just "{long awkward silence} soooo......"

    I will phone you and be all like "Hey Parker!". The rest of the conversation will be awkward silence until one of us have to go do something. :3

    More people should call me or something. I don't mind, even though I'm probably boring to talk to. I've spoken to several people over the phone from EoFF/Internet.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    If you're British then I probably have spoken to you.

    Perhaps my favourite was my 30 second phone call to dear Jojo, however. I think we talked about eggs.

    I spoke to sharky a lot on the phone before we met. I text with a few people from here, but I'm actually not big on phone conversations.
