Thread: Jump starting my mates ticker.

My mobile is a clam type that is rarely turned on. I don't text but receive the odd text including from my old hunting mate. He's got one of those Apple smartphones with apps and all that guff.
Yesterday he was going to be hunting across the stream from us and as we had different road entry points I thought I'd give him a ring to see if he was there yet. If he was hunting , not a problem as I know he turns his phone on silent. People with Apple smartphones never turn them off you know. So it rang and rang then I finally got a whispered answer. "Gidday mate."
I asked him why he was whispering. "Are you still at home?"
"No I'm down by the creek watching over a fresh Sika pad then you rang and scared the shit out of me".
"You forgot to put your phone on silent didn't you" I said.
He replied "No, but it appears when I have the Sika call app on my blue tooth boom box speaker it over rides the silent mode and the phone rings at super load volume through the speaker."
Sika one, mate nil in that creek.
