Don't answer your phone and tell the person your not available to talk... that is why you have voice mail.
Don't leave a message saying to call me back... that is why we have caller ID. When someone you know calls and doesn't leave a message it means - "call me back." When it is a number you don't know and they don't leave a message it means - "wrong number or not important".
When you are at the grocery store and your wife calls you like 10 times and you miss the calls or don't answer - it means "don't go home anytime soon."
Learn how to manage your phone sounds & notifications, when meeting with people or a group put your phone on silent (not vi berate - it's annoying).
Everyone forgets now and again so we all need a little grace, but have you ever had someone answer their phone and then apologize to everyone for the interruption only to leave the ringer/vibration on and have the same thing happen again!! Major faux pas - turn it off!
In about 5 years this may all be obsolete as we will probably only text. I'll come up with texting etiquette then.
