Poll: Do you have a mobile phone?

[manaman]

I have two. I used to have one that accepted two simm cards. Broke it and never really liked it much in the first place. Now I have simple basic one that is used only as a work phone, and I have my personal phone.

I tried combining them at first, but I had to answer every number I didn't recognize as if it was a work call. I don't like doing that. It's works out better this way, and for not much more a month.

There are people without mobiles? I haven't been without one longer than a day in around 7 years.

Aside from getting deployed, and a few other times where it would make no sense to have one it's been 12 years since I got my first cell phone. A Motorola StarTac. I can't really remember every phone since then, but I sure as hell remember that one.

I have a smart phone (Palm pre (Sprint)) that I only use for the "smart" part. I hate using cellphones as phones and I especially hate text messaging. But I love Internet and Pandora.

 

[Loop Stricken]

Yes, but I only use it to call people. I don't text people with it.

I'm the opposite. It's very rare I call someone and they usually don't answer anyway, but I send many many texts.

 

[unoleian]

It's my only phone. Nothing fancy, just a reliable pre-paid flip. I text a lot. (Get unlimited quantities) Talk on it occasionally, too. Usually, during weekends when the minutes are free.

 

[Kagim]

Yes, because its cheaper then a a home phone for what i do with it.

I have the cheapest plan i can get pretty much with unlimited talk and text to my wife and parents. I pay around $40 a month.

The cheapest i could get for a home phone is $80.

I use my phone incredibly rarely outside of to my wife and parents soooooo....

 

[LightspeedJack]

I don't get people who don't have phones they make life so much easier, its like someone not wearing shoes.

 

[imaloony]

Yes, I do.

Normally, kids need to beg their parents for weeks on end to tell them how "Mature" they are, or how much they "Need" a Cell Phone, or at least need to ask for one. One day, my parents just walked up to me and handed me my first cell phone. I just shrugged and accepted it. Since then, I've gotten 2 phone upgrades at random intervals, again, without even needing to ask.

I live in isolation so internet or mobile phone otherwise I can't contact my friends

Same here. I live twenty minutes away from town, if I didn't have a phone I would never get to talk to any of my friends ever, then I would never see them, then I would go mad from hearing my own lonely voice echo in my head constantly.
And I don't want that happening again.......

 

[Dexiro]

I have one but i don't use or even acknowledge it (i answered no on the poll). Never saw the need for one, I'm not paying money i don't have to contact people. The few people that i do contact i can talk to over MSN.

Never really understood how some people say they couldn't live without one, some of these people aren't exactly short of other forms of communication.

 

[SirDoom]

Yep. Got my first phone about 2 years after everyone else I knew, plus I had to pay for it (my friends' parents paid for theirs...), but I did have one. It was what I would describe as a "high quality piece of junk". Not bad, certainly not the worst phone, but it was still in the lower range.

Now I have a Droid Incredible. I like it.

 

[TehCookie]

I think a better question would be, "Do you still have a landline?" All my friends have mobiles and only mobiles.

 

[fishman279]

I don't =( Because in France they make you pay ridiculous amounts of money for a contract every month (thanks to the monopolization of Orange) and make sure you can't buy pay-as-you-go as they put an expiry date on your card. That's right, if you buy a £5 pay-as-you-go-card and don't spend it ALL in 2 weeks, it expires and you lose your money. Add to that the fact that we (my family) are rather poor and can hardly pay for my guitar lessons as it is...No, I don't have one.

I used to though.

 

[supagama]

love mine

 

[DividedUnity]

Yeah I have 3. People always text me about meaningless shit and I really can't talk over a phone so I just have them on silent most of the time. The only time I actively use them is for work or school

 

[Iznat]

I has one. Shitty little Samsung that's served me well. Battery'll live for maybe 12 hours of phone calls.
I only call one person <_<


I don't know what I'd do without one, tbh. It's very useful.

 

[micky]

mine went through the washing machine.....again thats how all my phones have died im so careless.

 

[Yureina]

Yes, but I never use it.

 

[Deadlock Radium]

I've got a Nokia 5800 which overall is a very good phone, but mine has got some problems, mainly that if it gets a little nudge, it turns itself off.
The good thing about the phone though is it's insane battery life, I have gone almost 2 weeks without charging it. Provided that I turn it off when I sleep most times. [SUB]My friends likes to wake me up for teh lulz by calling me in the middle of the night.[/SUB]

I'm going to get an HTC Desire later though.
That phone is truly the king of phones.
