I think it depends on the time of year. Psychologically I find it difficult to phone someone when it is dark. As a general rule maybe not after 9pm?

Happy Valentine's Day! This is my favorite holiday because, for the last 67 years, it's also my birthday! My wife is taking me to Red Lobster for lunch to celebrate, if the wind doesn't blow us away. Calling for gusts up to 60 MPH during the day.

Have you ever had a phone conversation which lasted more than an hour? Yes, when I had a landline.
When did you last talk on the phone with someone you'd been out of contact for a long time? A few years ago before a friend in MD died.
Do you have a land phone line? No
How late in the evening do you think is too late for someone to telephone you? It doesn't matter. I turn my phone off when I'm not using it so they would leave a voicemail message except on nights when I have to set the alarm for the next morning. I don't have any relatives that live closer than Texas and friends here know I don't drive at night except to go around the corner, so no one would call me in an emergency and the ones who have lived here a long time do have relatives in the area.
Is your car equipped with hands-free phone operation? Never used it. Don't talk and drive. It is capable of it, I think. In the steering wheel is an image of a phone.
Is there a public pay phone near your home? No. I doubt if there was one when there weren't mobile phones (before I came here). This isn't a walkable type town. Maybe there were ones at gas stations.
If you attended college and lived in a dormitory, was there a phone in your room? No
Have you ever dropped and consequently broken your cell phone? One went swimming in the washing machine in a pants pocket and died but never dropped one that broke. Hope this isn't a QOTD jinx question.
Do you have a current paper phone book for your area? No
When did you last use a paper phone book? Assuming you mean a White Pages/Yellow Pages one, maybe 2007 when I first moved here. If you mean a personal paper phone/address book, I still use one, mostly for addresses and passwords but it is so old there are a few telephone numbers in it, too.
What color is your cell phone? black
Have you used FaceTime or its equivalent on your cell phone? I don't know what that is so, no. If you mean something like Zoom, I have on my tablet.
Do you remember the phone number at the home you grew up in? No
Approximately how many people's phone numbers do you know from memory? I really have to think when I'm asked my own phone number so no one's phone number.

Do you have a land phone line? Kinda sorta. Not the old type landline. I have wireless phones that use cell towers. My elderly SIL said it confused her when I called and her phone said "cell call". I do call this my "house line". My mobile phone is for emergencies, personal friends and family, and travel issues only.
