I have a customer who somehow got my personal number instead of my work phone line. Since this individual has my number they believe that the office hours no longer apply to them. This person has been contacting me late (after 8pm) expecting me to pickup the phone, and will often call repetitively.



How do I tell the customer that it is not acceptable to contact me outside of the office, especially late at night?

  • I’ve thought about it but I though that would be too rude. Would it be?

  • It is a bit rude, but so is ringing your personal number after hours. No need to tell them you're blocking them.
