It's not my first choice, but when you have to leave the ringer off, it's a way to know the phone is ringing. I'm female and the skirts/slacks I wear don't usually have pockets where you can keep a phone. Besides, my hair basically covers the thing except for the blinking blue light!
Thanks for the suggestions.
