According to the OP, they sit in a row of cubicles. The "phone offender" sits in front of him. His text beeps/phone calls are disturbing everyone. If he had a job where phone calls/texts were allowed, then EVERYBODY would be using their personal phones. Also, there is a way to prevent someone from texting or calling you at work. It's called turning off the phone while at work, and making personal phone calls on your break.
Everybody does use their personal phones at work. I don't even mind if he has it on vibe and I can feel it slightly on my side. Not a problem at all. It's just the incessant beeping is driving me UP THE WALL. He might get 4 texts in a row and I swear it was beeping and ringing once for 5 straight minutes.
Also, I'm a she. I think thats pretty apparent from the world "girl" in my user name.

Sorry. I wasn't paying attention to your user name.
So I guess someone beat me to the punch and asked him to turn the sound off. She sits near us in an office and is a higher up. So I guess we have the problem solved.
Just turn off the sound. Problem solved. Visually check it periodically. People have managed to keep tabs on children for centuries without having cell phones, you know.
Before cell phones, people gave out their work numbers. My day care has my cell number. I'm not turning it off. I agree, the OP's coworker should put it on vibrate or silent. I don't know why some people are so clueless about the people around them. Since the OP has already asked him to silence his phone, I guess talking to her supervisor would be the next step.
