Lelong "No Phone" Icon

Well, since Lelong rolled out their new layout and new icons, I do not like them because these little wordings clutter up the page it the page is very popular and is full of listings like mobile phone and electronic sections. You just have to see for yourself. Headache, man! Icons are OK but smaller please and without words!

A couple of days ago, Lelong came out with yet another entirely new icon. Well, take a look at the attached image. It's a NO PHONE icon for sellers who do not offer phone support.

Well, sad to say, I think it's just plain silly. MOST of us do not offer phone support especially if it is a first deal. Personally, I do not even disclose my phone number unless the buyer has bought from me before and hence, have my number and he is welcome to call or SMS me regarding subsequent deals.

You may wonder why I think it is silly. Well, do away with this grey No Phone icon but introduce a little PHONE icon. Sellers who are able to offer phone support can enable this PHONE icon to be displayed at the end of the title.

Won't this be better?
