The problem with my iPhone is that I can barely hear the ringtone when I receive a call. Maybe I'm going deaf, but I have vibrate set at all times as a backup just in case. It helps me catch any crucial calls when the ringtone may be drowned out by ambient noise—plus I like the way it feels in my pants. But what about you? Do you use your cellphone vibrate function?
