21st Century Compromise?

...My phone is my connection to the outside world, and whether I am working on a school project, dealing with a job from back home, or god forbid getting a call that a family member has been hospitalized, I could not imagine leaving my phone in the hotel room all day, cut off from that connection.

I think most phones have a 'vibrate' mode, and maybe half of the phone users know how to activate it. :)

What I've done in the past is to set my phone at 'vibrate' and check the screen between games to see who called/texted. At that point I have the option of taking my 5 minute break if it's something so important that it can't wait for the end of the match. Even in a clocked match, the time cost (in checking the messages between games) should be minimal, and particularly dextrous individuals can multitask -- checking the screen while setting up the checkers for the next game.
