Do you or another family member use the phone a lot?

Because of the internet, today I seldom make a phone call. It is the same for my husband. Our son is too little to call anybody. So my mom is the one who uses the phone frequently. I love China

i'm a teenager and i'm 16 yrs. old but i don't use the telephone too much. but i use my mobile phone a lot..prepaid mobile credits..i guess it's becoming a need and not a want anymore..so many teenagers don't care if it costs a lot. :) i hope it helps!!^-^ v peace!!

since my family is scattered around in and out of the country and i move a lot myself during project work, we tend to rely on our phones for communication. being very close in the family, we talk everyday to other family members and friends and colleagues. and that's quite a big number. if i talk to a person often, my calls would last only a few minutes. but if i talk to a friend whom i've never seen for some time, the call usually lasts about an hour or so, spent mostly laughing. i used to have a boyfriend before... we'd talk for an average of 3-6 hours a day... everyday. we pay a huge amount for phone bills every month, but that's one of the sacrifices one makes in a long distance relationship. expense is not a problem as long as we are happy. but i could do that because i'm spending my own money as i was already working that time. it's not like a $4000 bill of a student who still gets money from the parents. that's different altogether. nowadays, i still use the phone a lot but i'm subscribed to unlimited calls and texts to a network and all family members belong in the same network so it's easy to get in touch with them.

I don't know how people can spend that much! Phones are wonderful but they are replacing real human contact and I think we'll eventually be sorry that we made them the center of our lives. I don't use my phone. At home, my sons call a couple times a week and we'll talk and laugh for a few minutes. I have a cell phone but rarely use it, I pay $15 a month for it and it is only for emergencies or for my sons to be able to reach me fi I'm not at home. I have over 40 hours of minutes saved up on it!

I don't understand how you could spend $4000 per month on text messages. If that's an actual true statistic, it's obviously the fault of the parent, who didn't forsee that they should buy an unlimited texting package for $15 or $20 (depending on your service provider). I used to be obsessed with my phone - especially back in high school. I would be texting everyone back and forth - in school and I would ALWAYS get in trouble for it! I bought an unlimited text package, thankfully, otherwise I would probably be up to at least $300 or something. I don't really use it that much, now, though, because I actually LIKE not talking to people sometimes and I don't enjoy texting as much as I used to.

I have a cell phone but i never make much use of it as i can see you have made a lot use of it at $4000. i wonder how it is possible even to spend so much in a short time. well i think my sister is another person in my house who speands a lot on her phone and texting and all.i myself dont like long chats over the phone infact i prefer shutting my mouth and chatting on internet lol.

we have a teenager and she is pretty much on the phone all the time from when she comes home from school til she goes to bed (plus she is on the computer too!) 4 grand for a month of texting? sheesh, i wouldnt have been too happy with her! my daughter racked up over $200 and we thought that was a lot. she no longer has a phone!

In my family all members have there own mobile phone.among them am the big caller because i have a girlfriends.

I always use my mobile phone...that is the means of the communication between i and my girlfriend...i spend a lot of time texting..somtimes i even call for more than an hour..phones are needed for the communication....ehehe

Im only 22 and i dont use the phone alot...I have 2 children and dont have time to use the phone anyways even if i wanted too. However my mother she stays on the phone like non stop im like dang dont you ever shut up jsut for 5 mins. LOL Sounds mean but dang when you watchin TV and all you hear is her talking about something that dont even make sence or has nothing to do with her she all up in it. Im like good lord get a hobbie or something. But its whatever its her bill and thank heavens im not the one paying for it LOL

Hi! When I was in my teenage years, I really love to chat on the phone and call cute guys who didn't know me and talk to them. When I got to college, I was just speaking on the phone with my boyfriend who is my hubby now. There are really times when I love chatting especially with my friend, now that I am married. We would not notice that it has been an hour of talking and laughing and talking againa. This just happens once in a while because I am so busy with so many stuff. Have a great day!

Yes my father is using a lot of phone but he has never reached that much amount. Even I am using phone a lot but I have some good ideas to use it by using some good plans. 15 minutes a week is so less for you. Even if I got a call from some friends then its duration extends sometimes to 15 minutes but there are always some messages which are coming from my friends. I may be using around 30-40 hours in a week.

hahah, oh wow. thats why you get unlimited texting xD I have a friend who texts more then that a month. its insane, I don't know where you find the time to text that much. I don't text anymore, because I just didn't feel like getting minutes for my phone, but seriously ... yeah, teenagers like to be social =P I am one of those social teens. I talk on the phone for more then an hour a day. its not me calling people either, like a million people call me everyday. depending who it is we talk for a long time, but most of the time it's just random small talk or telling me about whats going on or asking me to hang out. which sometimes DOES lead to me calling people, like inviting them to come too. or if someone tells me to call them. or if I'm freaking out and needa vent, or need something, or .. yeah. xD whatever's going on. but I don't usually need to call other people. there are people, like my friends and family that just call me everyday around the same time. but I really don't mind, I love talking on the phone. and I know what you mean by it can be annoying, but I stay in my room when I'm talking on the phone. unless it's family, cause like they want to talk to everyone else too usually, but yeah. hahahah, I love talking on the phone. and on msn of course. and well, in person is the best, but anyway this is kind of off subject. so, Ima go :) have a nice daaay. peace !

whoa... that's a whole lot of money to spend on text messages, and in one month only???!!! wth!!! probably doing international texting too, but it seems to be exaggerated to spend so much on just text messages. anyway, when i had my first handphone, i used to text a lot, make a lot of calls... but that was a long time ago, im soooo over it now. i only text when it is important or if i still have some unused free text messages and its gonna be forfeited the next day, thats the time i forward jokes.. but other than that, i dont text that much anymore. i have a daughter she's 12 now, but in the next month gonna be a teenager, i bought her cellphone, but she seems not to like it. as in , it's just there... lol then one time she told me, mommmy, i dont like cellphones, and i dont like accessories either. so there... lol... now i know at least i wont be bothered by my daughter asking me to buy such and such... and i wont be spending too much money on loads for her hp. she used it only when we are out and she and her little brother are the only ones left at home. or when they are at their cousin's house, so we can call them and knows how they are.

Dear friend, $4000 is much more and I hope this would something much more for even though I do use my phone more often for both personal and official purposes. But mostly I my talk an average of 2 hours a day.

Hi,reichiru I am surprised that you only use about 15 minutes on the phone in a week,I cannot imagine it!sometimes even a call will be longer than 15 minutes.Well,I don't spend much time on my phone as well,but it is far longer than you spend on your phone.I will surf the wap during my English class(LOL),and sometimes play games on my phone when I don't want to listen to the teachers.If friends send me messages,I will reply,and he reply,I reply....This takes some time!People say that spending too much time on phones is not good to our health,so you are lucky as you only spend 15 minutes or so on phones. Have a nice day!

I use my phone day and night. My phone is used for personal and business so it get used constantly. I have unlimited everything or I would be broke if playing by minutes. One thing I don't really like is when someone is driving and talking or texting. Sometimes I feel that if I didn't have my phone, life would be so much more difficult. Phones are the main technology of communication. My husband uses the phone all the time as well. He gets tons of phone calls in the middle of the night and drives me crazy. I have family and friends that joke with me and say they are going to have to do surgery to get hat phone from my ear!
