Whether or not you subscribe to the sensationalist press items about how cell phone users are all going to die of brain cancer in a few years, are you completely wireless?

If you're keeping a landline, why?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('cbxer55', 'M')y wife and I are completely wireless. The only landline we have is for this thing called the internet. Do not even have cable boob-tube anymore. That crap about cancer from cell phones is as much hogwash as global warming.

I do not have a cell phone for a number of reasons.

1. No one needs to get a hold of me that bad.

2. I do not need to get a hold of anyone else that bad.

3. On those rare occassions that I might need to get a hold of someone I walk into a busy place, apologize and say that I really need to make a phone call and ask if I can use someone's phone.

4. They cost money that could be better used to pay off debt or save.

Hate talking on cell phone.

Small, bad acoustics, uncomfortable, small buttons, runs out of juice.

Only have a cell for emergencies.

Bought one for about 20 bucks, put about 200 bucks into it in minutes and such, and it's about 10 months later now, still have most of the minutes.

Point is, when I'm out, I don't want to talk on a phone, and when I'm home, I don't want to talk on a little crappy phone.

I've been cell only for almost 10 years. I had to get a land line to get DSL when I moved into my current place. I put it on all the do-not-call lists. The thing was still ringing off the hook with $&%*$ telemarketers. I put the thing on a fax machine and decided forget it. It still rings probably 5 or 6 times a week. I get the satisfaction of knowing that the telemarketer scum are being screamed at by the fax. As far as I'm concerned, the price of the cell is well worth it for the legal protection it affords from telemarketers.

I hear cell phone jammers are easy to get even though they are illegal. Fun to watch people look at their phone when it cuts out. Not that I am saying you should do something illegal or anything.

I suggest a partial solution to the homeless people problem would be to
epoxy old defunct cell phones into the left palm of the crazy people who wander the streets constantly talking to themselves. Then they would look like successful people who constantly have to talk to their cell phones, thereby beautifying our major cities.
