I would have to say, with all gentleness, that it is an overreaction, especially if you're a phone-based communicator. For me, I despise the phone and most of the time don't even remember to turn it on (I only have cellular service). But I can tell you that if I didn't make my regular calls to my parents and certain other people, they would be calling the Spokane authorities to add me to the missing persons list.
Heh... I had a rule with my dad-- Don't call before noon on Saturday. He would call us at 7:00 MST and wonder why we were still in bed here in Washington. Then I'd have to deal with a surly roommate all day. Not that his calls were unwanted, I just wished they came at a better time. Like, say, about 3:00 when I was looking for anything to do besides homework. :)
