i don't have a cell phone

It's not unusual... Some people think its cool to have a cell phone, like its a social status or something, but anyone can get a cell phone so that's completely pointless ;) Anyways I do have a cell phone but I think I could manage without it, I only got it to get urgent messages from my parents/relatives Some people probably couldn't get by though...shame on them :D Anyways HappyMylotting ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I have only ever owned one cell phone also. It is also a pay as you go phone. I use mine for emegencies only. I use it to text my husband also when he is away from home. I hate talking on the phone.

Lol P1ke certainly no luck with them have you I do have one and I have to be honest I feel safer with it, like on long Drives or when I am out with Gissi as I have the Phone and I feel safe, my wonderful Man and my 2 Children mainly ring me on it but that is all but I need to be honest with you though I would be lost with out now specially because of having contact no matter where I am It was my Mobile that kept me calm in Hospital (I am scared of Hospitals) because I had contact with the outside world and that helped me a lot xx

I can get by without a cellphone if I need to, but with my husband out of town right now, I feel that it is a good idea to have one. When he is back home I will probabuy turn the damn thing off, and just leave it at home on my computer desk. I only use it to stay in touch with him.

I have one but the only time I use it is when the girls are away from the house or I am away and they are at home. Could I survive without it? You betcha! But, the girls like to keep track of me so I guess I am stuck with it Thankfully it is a pay as you go type and I spend less than 20 bucks a month for it. I don't know why people pay so much every month for one of these things. If they want to talk that much they'd should probably stay home and use a real telephone

We don't have a cell phone either and I also don't miss it. We did have one about a year ago for a couple years and we did not have a landline. It got to be expensive though and we decided to pare down to having a landline and no cells. Really the only time I think it'd be COMFORTING to have it is when I'm running the kids around and the van's not running as well as I'd like! LOL! But I agree with you...we got along fine 20 yrs ago without them so what's the big deal? I'm sure you know the dumbfounded looks we get when someone hears you don't have a cell! LOL! Honestly, if I didn't need the internet for my work (I work at home) then I wouldn't have that either! :)

it's ok without cell phone.sotimes i shutdown the cell phone,but things goes ok.cell phone only used when i am out.by the way,my parents never have cell phone,but they never feel alone or different from others.p1kef1sh

I absolutely get by without one..in fact I've NEVER owned a cell phone...I have quarters when I'm out and about (and a phone card actually for when I'm away) and I have a landline in the house so what would I need a cell for ya know...

I never had one until a couple years ago, I got mine to have in the truck in case of a brake down on the road. I can call for help, as I have road side assistance, but it about worthless if you don't have a cell to call them, I don't think it is really to safe on the road anymore if you break down you never know who is stopping. I don't use mine that much, sometimes if I am in a store and need to call home or call my daughter to let her know I found something she has been looking for. I laugh when I go to Wal Mart and see the women, as soon as they get out of the car, they have to call someone while walking in and as soon as they come out they got to call someone again. How did they ever go to wal mart before with out the cell, what is so important that they have to talk to someone that bad. My daughter and both her daughters have one, she keeps track of them when they are out. I think that is a good thing. Mine is $51. a month and I can call anywhere at any time no minutes to count. I could probably live with out mine but I have gotten used to it now.

I have a mobile phone, but it is rarely used. With mine, I put £10 on a month and I get 300 free text messages (which is all I use my phone for, texting). Hubby and I used to text all day long when he was at work, but then he moved job and so could not text no more, then he stopped his contract phone and so has to put money on his phone now,so we figured that we would save money by not texting. He comes home for lunch anyway. So I still have about £20 on my phone that has been on there for months, and as I only text my mum a few times there is no point in it really. I never take it anywhere with me as it does not go off!

I have never ever used one and I have never had any interest in owning one. I can't even see what's on the screen of my digital camera and if I had a mobile phone I would need to find my reading glasses and put them on each time before I could use it. It would not be convenient for me. I do have a dongle, which is a small USB device for connecting my laptop to the internet. It uses a sim card and I have a monthly contract with T-Mobile. It was complicated enough registering for that and getting accepted with credit checks and proof of id before I was allowed to have one!

This is cool. I do have a cellphone and my work needs it. However, there are times that I just cut the phone communication by turning it off and remain "hidden." I do this when I need a break. It keeps my balance.

Sorry I would die without my phone because I use a cell instead of a land line. It is much more convenient and cheaper.

oh, it is a incredible thing, if you has not a cell phone in morden world. it is not doubtful,mobile phone have brought us huge convenience in life. But it brought a lot of problems.for example, in sunday you could recieve your boss`s phone, then you must abandon your vocation for job.

I got my first cell phone just a few months back after I started working. When I was home, I didn't have a cell phone. But now I needed one because it worked out cheaper than using the landline to make phone calls. I don't use it often and it's only when I need to get in touch with someone at work and pass information that I use it. I also have it because my son's school sends out messages as SMSs and my husband is usually travelling when he gets the messages and can't contact me. So, I'd rather get them to send messages to me. But I did get by very well without a cell phone till August 2008.

You are not alone in your thinking. I have never owned a cell phone and hmm...still alive and well & happy to boot. My kids keep telling me that I NEED one. Nope, I really do not. I don't like talking on the phone at all anyway. I have considered getting a pre-paid phone to have in my car just for emergencys. I travel home from work in another town quite late at night. It could be handy but the couple of times that I have broken down, someone kind came along and saved me.

hi pikefish You are not alone at all, I hate the darned things. I was walking across the parking lot of our favorite shopping center watching for cars, when out of nowhere comes this ditzy dame talking on a cellphone,not watching where she was going, and nearly ran over me. If I had not have jumped out of her way I would probably have had a broken leg or two. I know they are good in an emergency but I have a landline phone and I do just great. I also hate it when I am walking along and somebody behind says loudly well just stop for a minute, I need to talk to you, so I whirl around and say, Why are you yelling at me, and damn its a guy yelling on his cell phone, now he gets an attitude and says to the other person, theres some old dame here yapping at me, Right then I wanted to swing my handbag and knock the blasted cellphone down his throat. Some old dame, okay how was I to know he was on the stupid cell phone. I get along just fine without one. There must be a few of us who can survive without them.

I have one for "winter driving" because i drive 40 minutes into work everyday and the roads here in the winter can be pretty bad. I have it just in case i hit the ditch that way i'm not hiking for miles in the cold and snow looking for help. Other than those occasions or occasionally texting my sister or cousin (we used this alot between cars on our houseboating trip "where are you guys?" "we have to pee so we're stopping") I rarely even look at it the rest of the time.

Hey pikey! I have one also that is on a prepaid basis. I only use it in the case of an emergency or if I am meeting someone and they need to get in touch with me or I need to get in touch with them while on the way. I hardly ever even have it turned on except when I am out and meeting someone. I don't even know how to retrieve messages on it because I don't care to. I only put money on it when I need to and that is only to keep it on. I have had the same phone for about 4 years. It does nothing except work as a phone. It does none of those tricks like the new phones do. It does not look cute, have internet, flip, take photos, play games, or text! It is just an emergency phone and I an not interested in using it for anything else! It I need to talk to someone they can call me on my landline when I get home!

Hi ya p1kef1sh I think that mobiles are handy but not a neccesity! I do like to have mine when I am travelling in case the car breaks down and I always carry it in my front pocket becasue that is the only number some people have got for me. Also if any of the kids schools need to get hold of me in an emergency they can as my phone is always on me apart from when it is charging, I haven't figured out how to do that yet without plugging it into the wall!!!! I dare say I would survive without one if I had to.
