There's apparently a way to figure out why the call ended (hung up or cut off). If you go into airplane mode, it will seem like it was cut off.

    This ain't even a meme. It's straight up a tip for when you're about to call someone you hate

    It is actually how my teenage daughter avoids calls with me, and only uses IM, when she is out with her friends.

    Take her smartphone and give her a Nokia. She will have a battery that lasts a week and that excuse will be moot :)

    Or let your teenage daughter have some freedom and don’t make her resent you for controlling her phone, just a thought

    Luckily such daughter will always be imaginary for me.

    Don't even have kids, and giving parenting advice?

    It's a bold move, Cotton.

    That’s a good one but I’m still leaning towards just not answering the phone in the first place

    My voicemail says, "Sorry, if you're getting this message you're not on my contacts lists. Please text and I'll get back to you."

    Even for people on my contacts list. This filters only real people and let's me text instead of talk.

    And always disconnect while you're in the middle of speaking.

    Anwser the phone like "Hello, Justice Department, how may I help you?" for a 85% chance for a "Sorry wrong call" :D

    "I hate talking on the phone and won't pick up, text me." also often works.
