You only have to check your schedule (or turn on your phone for a message) every 9 hours - but then you might only be giving yourself 3 hours to report. You only have to acknowledge a trip 3 hours prior to report, 1 hour prior to SC or 6 hours after a rest period has started.

Many Delta pilots I know don't answer the phone, ever. They let it go to voice mail, then see what the call is about. You can acknowledge via the VRU or online.
