Buy Phone

The Friday file: When buying stuff over the phone, men stay on the phone for 7 minutes and 23 seconds, women just 6.5 minutes. Men prefer to call between 3am and noon, women between noon and 9pm. Two-thirds of calls to nutritionists are from women, while men make two-thirds of all calls to auto repair shops. Calls to landscapers are equally likely to be made by either sex.
