I have Nextel. I use the "private" feature except when at home. I also don't use the cell phone when driving. People know to call me and leave a message, and I'll usually call them back within an hour (when I've reached some place suitable for a private conversation).

For a while, my friends thought it was funny to direct connect to me and just start talking (rather than alert first). I'd be in meetings and some voice would start coming out of my pants pocket!
