I have given the number for my iPhone to three people only. These are people whom I care about, and know that I don't like to 'shoot the breeze' if I am busy. My landline is always open, but if I am busy, I will put on the answering machine, muted.

If I am out and someone asks me if I am reading on a Kindle, I state a short sharp "Yes" and carry on reading if I don't want to be interrupted. If they keep on nattering way, I will say a loud "WHAT?" as if I am stone-deaf.

If people are rude enough to interrupt me when I am obviously busy, then I feel that I am entitled to be just as rude to them.

If I am not busy, that's a different story.

I use my Mp3 for when I'm doing housework; usually something humorous, beacause I hate housekeeping.
