>Phone rooms don't work. I can't predict the future, so I have no way of knowing exactly what time an incoming phone call will occur. Maybe you can do that, but most of us can't.

You can predict that you will be talking on the phone if you are making a call (such as scheduling a doctor appointment). You can walk to a phone room when you receive a call.

By then, it's too late: you're now disrupted by the noisy phone ringer, and the start of the conversation.

And what if the phone room is occupied? If the company is really cheap with space, they probably didn't put enough private rooms in to satisfy demand.
