my cell phone sucks. i drive a car that is not so dependable and i have a long commute to work, so i really have to have one because i would be too shy to go knocking on some farmer's door in an emergency. i am supposed to have coverage throughout my state down through chicago, but i'm roaming all the time in my hometown. it is ridiculous.

I've always said I would never get a cell phone... funny how alot of them are now cheaper than LAN lines and it's illegal for Telemarketers to call them... I think next time I move I might get one but I'll leave it at home... unless I decide I want DSL over Cable... the web without broadband is...

i got nothing against cellphones... just the people who talk loudly on them in unapproptiate places
but, im a busy guy, and im not home much. A cell phone will help me greatly in meeting up with people, and not playing phone tag all the time... etc

Agreed, I have no problems with cell phones since i only use them functionally and I avoid calling in public places. I always have the ringtones off when I'm outside the house and I hate talking loud on the phone.

if I ever get one, I would only leave it the car, in case of accident/traffic -need to call into work.
never while driving though, ugh, cell phones are bad news

I dont really mind mobile phones but i hate the way they have been turned into fashion things and you are made to feel 'uncool' if you have an older phone .
For fuck sake i just want to talk to people on it i dont give two fucks if it can open a can of beans and do the ironing at the same time .
sorry for being a bit negative about them but mobile companys are slimmy little..........
ok im finished sorry.
o2 are probably your best bet .

lmao, good point there warpphex, nowadays I'm starting to wonder if people would even notice if they'd take the phone bit out of it. Seems like all these kids do is install some annoying ringtones,play games(????get a gameboy or whatever console??:S),
and SMS each other, and idd trying to be the coolest by switching to a new phone at least once a month.

and the installed vibrator doesn't neccesarily mean descretion at all!
Sometimes a git at work leaves his dildo on, laying in a metal closet, and I have to tell you, it sounds just like the call of a moose in heat.

don't get a cell phone if you live in the states.. the network over there is so fucking behind the times it's really not worth it. It's reflected by everyone's attitudes here to cellphones..
People here in ireland can't live without mobile phones. Everyone, and i mean *everyone* has one. I even saw a 5 year old kid with a bloody camera phone the other day.

yea i saw 3 10 year olds in my neighborhood here in america and one boy asks this girl "do you have a cellphone yet?" as if 10 year olds needed one.. it's just really sad, especially seeing people in public who prefer having a senseless conversation with someone on the phone to meeting someone they're sitting or standing right next to.

well, today I was in work, asking my boss about what kind to get (I work in network and telecom at my school) and he is like, "dont buy one, here" and he hooked up my work phone so it can have unlimited ANYtime mins. Not just nights and weekends... anytime of day! and its free as long as I work here!
saves me some $$$!!!!!

don't fear technology. when people say "I hate cell phones!" they remind me of my late grandfather who was always like "I hate these damned computers!"
what you really hate is how some people use their cellphones. just don't use it like they do. its really just a tool. if you use it constructively, it can save you loads of time.
