I don't have a cellphone at all. My hubby has a work one he can use all the time for personal use (which is very nice) and we have a little prepaid phone that we dole out to our kids when they are going somewhere, and we have a house phone (land line). I am home most of the time (lucky me!) so I really don't need one. I'm also not a phone person. I don't like talking on the phone, and sure wouldn't want to have to talk while grocery shopping or whatever.
My daughter wants her boyfriend and herself to buy iPhones for each other next Christmas. I'm not at all sure why, because she's not a phone person either (nor is he).

Yes, iPhones are very popular in our area. But the problem with buying the iPhone is that you have to feed the darn thing, i.e. buy a big enough data plan that supports all the internet access and texting. It's the overages that kill you. People with unlimited access forget that not everyone has unlimited texting - the poor sods who have the pre-paid phones pay per call/text. So all those "hi", "supp?", "hey", and other single word texts do add up quickly!

They do indeed! I got a smartphone about a month ago and the only way i use internet is when im home or school or anywhere with free wi-fi hahhaha and if im short on crédit (my iPhone is a pre-paid one) i use an app called whatsapp, which allows you to chat with your contacts for free only using wi-fi... Kinda like msn back in our days xD

Back in your day, Perla?? Boy, do I feel old. Back in MY day, if we wanted to talk with a friend, we went outside, hopped on our bikes, and looked for them until we found them. And we did find them.  |

Whatsapp makes me nervous. It got hacked a few months ago and they never told anyone if personal information was stolen.

I don't use a cell phone.
A whiie back I got a basic cell phone from AARP. But, I had trouble developing a relationship with it. I wanted it for the car. So, it stayed in the car. Then, it told me its battery was too cold for me to use it in the car, So, I started taking it into the house to warm it up and charge it. Then, I forgot to take it with me when I went out in the car.
In the end, I decided a cell phone just isn't for me. I am always surprised when I see women my age at the health club texting and talking on their cell phones.
Generally, I don't like calling people on the phone. When my family calls me, I am happy. But, otherwise, I'd mostly rather not be getting the call.
