Ladies and gentle men,boys and girls (cos i see alot of immature girls and boys on this site) the issue of picking up ur boy/girl friends phone when it rings is a private matter b/w both parties,if both approve of the other picking his or her calls is a decision of both parties ,but generally mobile phones are for individualuse and ones privacy should be respected, so don't pick his or her phone when it rings,call him or her that she or he has a call.In the case of a land line,anybody living in that enviroment may pick such calls.
