Yup. I almost never actually take a call on my Mac, but love that I get
notified when my phone rings, because more often than not my phone is
muted, and I may not feel the vibration in my pocket depending on what sort
of clothes I'm wearing or whatever. It's quite handy. And I wouldn't change
anything about it.
