I work at an office of about 30 people. I keep my cell on vibrate, and ask my wife to call me on my cell if she needs to talk to me, purely out of consideration for our already over-worked receptionist. Why should personal calls take time out of the receptionist's day, too?
I can't figure out why everyone can't use the vibrate option, though - it is annoying hearing so many of those personalized ringtones all the time. Yeah - you might think it's a cool ringtone, but believe it or not, I could actually go all week without missing it one bit.
Also, I don't feel a bit guilty about a personal phone call now and then - I may get paid to work 8 hours, but that includes breaks. My normal day has me at my desk from 7:30-4:30, with a 20-minute lunch. I figure that factors in a little bit of "me" time - personal calls, web surfing, BS-ing with a co-worker, etc.
