Yes indeed! There are too many occasions when it's hard to ascertain 
whether someone's *somewhere* in the house but they can't hear the 
doorbell -- but they almost always hear the phone ring and answer it! 
Sometimes it's fastest to use the cell phone when looking for the client 
to let them know you're done and it's time to write a check. Few things 
are as aggravating as wandering around someone's home (and backyard) 
shouting "Hello! I'm done! It's the piano tuner! Hello?!" for several 
minutes.
