I am on 8 different boards and do board business regularly. While I don’t get a lot of calls since most contacts are via email, I do get them occasionally from people who are not in my contacts.

but I don’t carry my phone. I pick up about half the time mainly because it rings in on a iPad that I’m on but very often do not pick up whether text or phone.
