Yes AFAIK.

Personally my feeling is that if *whatever* was so important that it 
couldn't wait until I got home they should have called my mobile to make 
sure I received it.  If it's not that important then it can wait until I 
do get home.  The chances of me being able to do anything about 
*whatever* away from home are negligible anyway so it's a moot point.  
Unless as an example it's a friend telling me to wait in the car when I 
arrive as he needs a lift to the shops, or 'can you remember to bring X 
with you?' which again is a tad pointless if I've already left.

Kind regards,

Julian
