For you, which is more important- cellphone or internet?

In my county, I believe cellphones are more important then the internet. There are many places here wherein if we were to break down we would need knock on a person's home door to ask for assistance. We live in the country.

This is absolutely true in comparing CP and internet. When you are somewhere out and where there is no internet line and you need help, you will find the cellphone a life-saver. :) Here in our country, there are still more cellsites to cater the need of cellphone holders than the internet base stations to serve clients who are craving for internet lines. Therefore, the cellphone coverage is still much wider than that of the internet. Even if you bring the laptop with you 24 hours a day, since the whole country is not a WIFI zone, you will find a lot of places where you can't go online. But of course, most people now really earn their living via the internet. Therefore, they cannot pay for their cellphone use if they don't have internet lines too. LOL

I can imagine myself looking exactly like you early this afternoon after being asked the same question! LOL It was so... so... very hard for me to post a reply too. :)

This is the first time I heard a mylot user also earns via selling prepaid load for cellphones. And I think this is one really good reason to choose the cellphone over the internet because aside from your personal usage, you also earn directly from using your cellphone. I do earn transactions from my cp too and this results to more clients and sales for me. We are on the same boat friend. Thanks for sharing and have a great day! :)

Thanks for sharing! We're on the same team - cellphone. It's our partner in life and we still can't sacrifice it for the internet although as time changes.. we wouldn't know how far internet can go too to extend its services where cellphone companies have reached far for its clients. Happy mylotting and have a nice day! :)

ya it is also a correct solution in the thought but it is not so easy to communicate very fast so that it is really so hard in the topic..there will be a better topic and i think there will be an improved in the tech so that both will be combined and it is going to change the world..there will be a better things we have to check it around...have fun...

This is actually like cheating since I was asking for only one answer - the cellphone or the internet. But I will have to accept your response since you are not alone (meaning, there are a lot of cheaters here???- Joke!!!) in this decision to choose BOTH. LOL This only shows how advanced technology has become part of our lives and it is very, very difficult to give up any one because we have come to be so dependent on them already. Thanks for sharing and have a great day too! :)

Wow! This is the first time I heard of a techy person who doesn't have a cellphone. Some people don't have cellphones because they can't afford one, they don't know how to operate it, or they don't need one in their regular activities in life, but definitely, they wouldn't have internet line too for the same reasons mentioned. To surf the net and not use a cellphone.. that is NEW to me really. Thanks for your response. :)

Goes the same for me actually. Like I said, I can't imagine my life without it, it's a necessity both for my personal and professional life and I therefore can't lose it. But I'm glad I also have this chance to enjoy the internet whenever I want to, like now when I'm joining discussions and learning new things from mylot. Thanks for your response and God bless you. :)

At least you share a common interest in the family. That's a good thing since nobody gets left behind when you talk about new topics about the internet over dinner or on your family time. Just make sure you all have your own pc or laptop or else it can also spell disaster when you have to share it. :) Thanks for the response and have a nice day! :)

Thanks for the response Ladyslipper! We share the same reasons why we prefer the cellphone over the internet. Happy mylotting and have a great day! :)

Same here newtalent. :) I also don't use the internet on a daily basis but I feel incomplete when my cellphone's battery gets drained and I don't have a spare one. I don't feel comfortable when I accidentally leave it at home and I'll need to call time and again to check if anybody called or sent any text message. But of course I also enjoy using the internet for my personal reasons. Thanks for the response. :)

Yes it's true actually and I find that the responses are almost equal on both sides. If there are many cellphone users, then there are as well many internet-dependent people here in mylot. Thanks for the response and have a nice day. :)

Don't worry vavhing123... you're not alone, some respondents have the same sentiment- they can't choose only one, the answer is BOTH. You're lucky you can afford them both because some people can really only have one of the two since it's costly to maintain both. Thanks for the response and happy mylotting! :)

Yeah, I also thought of that- online earners will definitely choose the net over the cellphone since if they don't have internet line, then they have no source of income. I have also met some clients who already stopped working on regular jobs and are now purely dependent on earnings from online jobs. For me though, I still can't see any online job that will provide me with a regular and stable income so I have to go to my regular work at the office. I just use the internet for some other personal transactions. Thanks for joining the discussion and thanks for the response. Good day! :)

I guess you have more friends online than textmates hmmmnn??? lol Thanks for the comment. :)

Hey that's true... but... do you always bring your laptop with you even when you go outside to just attend a party? Not all our family and friends use the internet to contact us, but most of them use cellphones as means of communication to get in touch... don't they? Have you ever had the chance to spend a day without your CP? ... am not arguing promise! :) Thanks much for the response. :)

Here in our country, the cellphone provides a cheaper way of communications. Texting messages can be subscribed for unlimited use with minimal charge. Calling charges have the same principle. And not all people can afford to buy a computer or a laptop, much more to subscribe to internet accounts. But of course, things might be different in your place. That's why I thank you for your response. (I learned something new again.) Happy mylotting friend! :)

Actually this question popped up to me when a client has to choose which bill to pay. He has both a postpaid cellphone line and a postpaid internet line. Both accounts were disconnected today due to unpaid bills. His available money can only pay for the minimum payment required of one account and he could not decide which to pay since he has important transactions both on his cellphone and internet accounts. He claims he will have to wait for another payroll before he can settle the other account but it was very difficult for him to choose because he will not be able to use one account should he choose not to pay it. :(

Yes, in terms of functionalities, the internet weighs more... but what about in terms of usage? For people who work online, the internet is indispensible but for regular businessmen and the likes, transactions are usually carried out via the cellphone conversations alone. Obviously though, you are more of the internet person. :)
