funereal tones

I forgot to mention one little thing that happened shortly before yesterday's Mass... I had gotten distracted out of my usual routine by the sight of the hearse in front of Church, so instead of going to the usual door, pulling the cell phone out of my pocket and silencing it, and going to my place to review the readings, I went to a different door and joined the line to pay my respects to Fr. Tom. That's when the little gizmo in my pocket started chiming the polyphony "Regina Coeli" I devised as a ring tone. I fumbled in my pocket, hastily trying to quiet the thing down. To no avail. I had to open and shut it to refuse the call, and then open it again to silence it. All with the mourning assembly looking on.
Well, today I went to the funeral Mass, and made sure--well before approaching the Church doors--that the phone was on silent. Good thing, too, because later I saw that my Dad had tried to call!

Oh Sister how terrible but yet interesting topic!!!! Who is your carrier??? Since you have a flip phone it seems, there is any easy way to silence it without even opening it!!! If there is a button on the side of the cell phone that has arrows on it, just press the arrow going down, that should work otherwise try another button if there is more on the side of the cell phone. just an idea!!!!
