I have a problem that recurs almost every winter. No one can get through to me cell when I’m driving, since I just toss my phone in my coat pocket. I usually have my music loud enough that I don’t hear the ringer, and the vibrating is useless. I’ve been better about it since I picked up my iPhone as I tend to plug it into my stereo (and thus my music is muted when a call comes in). Well if you tend to run into a similar issue of missing calls in the car, you might invest a few bucks in one of these Mathmos Badges.

These are actually meant for attaching to a bag or piece of clothing, however, I think with a bit of work you could affix it somewhere in your car. Sure, it might be a bit cheesy looking, but if your calls are important it just might be worth it. You can pick one up for about $9, the only catch is that they don’t work with 3G phones.
