Phone being left off hook

[Tubbsy]

You have my sympathy. My dad is slowly losing the ability to use his phone and it leads to a lot of frustration. His latest one was thinking that he had to hold the hand set out in front of him... no wonder we couldn't hear each other! The whole conversation would be along the lines of 'Can you hear me?!'.

Looviloo, I think you've just answered what's going on with my mum when I phone her!

Maybe they've been watching the TV with people holding mobile phones in front of them to speak?
