I have been away for the last 12 days and have had a few messages from members asking of my availability. Unfortunately because i refuse to pay crazy roaming charges i left my phone at home and those calls remained unanswered until my return . Would it be possible to include a setting to show that a driver is on holiday for set times?

That way the driver isnt seen as being ignorant to a vendors call or more importantly the vendor doesn't pay for calling me in the Caribbean

Why not just text relevant people or leave a message on the News Feed just saying 'not available' for 12 days?

I get a package from orange that allows me to use my phone when in Africa or likewise when in Europe like this week I'm in the Algarve and it makes little difference to my bills.

Super bock is the local beer as is Sagres and when its hot they are both like nectar. Had about 5 on the beach today (long day 830 am to 1830) May have another 6 tonight watching the football :-) It's a hard life driving a van.
