The only time it's okay for my boyfriend to answer a call when we're in the middle of conversation is if it's one of his clients - since he's a vet, his taking 5-10 minutes to listen to a voicemail and call back can sometimes be a real problem.
If it's his mom, dad, or one of his friends and it's not an emergency, though.. I get pissed.
I keep my phone on silent/vibrate most of the time, so I don't inadvertently interrupt a conversation because my phone goes off. I VERY rarely get important calls, so I usually just leave the phone in my purse and check it occasionally to see if I missed anything. I'll only answer a call in the middle of a conversation if I've let the other person know that I'm expecting an important call/expecting someone to return my call, and even then I am more likely to just let it go to voicemail and call back at a better time.
