Shit, what if you're out running around with people, you split up, and you want to meet up somewhere later.

Um, a cell phone would be handy.

That's not practical. You go home and check your home phone messages and then go to the place they wanted to meet at.

Don't ever play games on Facebook. I talked to a scammy marketing company a while back, and they proudly told me how they've created some games on Facebook. To play the games you do that "give permission" thing, and they use it to grab all your personal data and sell it.

Please explain. What advantage does your cell phone give you over others? I assume your mother has a land line in her basement for those late night calls to 1-800-man-meat. :D

How about ****ing road side assistance, just for starters?

I just show up.



Nope.



I don't buy much and I like to see, feel, hear what I'm buying before I buy it. If I can't, this computer I'm typing on does a pretty good job at finding that kind of shit. I really don't need to do that walking down the street.



No, I'm ascending above other humans as I free myself from such frivolous gadgets. Plus I'm not subjecting myself to increased risk of cancer from the radiation emissions of such electronic devices.

Mine runs $35 bucks a month. To offset that I have no home phone (actually I paid for that magicjack at $20 a year for unlimited calling). Cool thing about my phone (that I picked up new (yet older model) for $98 off ebay is that whenever I have an available wifi connection I can call from my cell without using any of my minutes(1500 any time or text). The fact that I live on campus with wifi every where makes it a very inexpensive and valuable asset.

You know there's a magicjack app you can install on a no-service phone and it will function as a cell phone? That's what we did for my ten-year old. Pay $20 a year which we were already paying anyway and she has my old smart-phone.
