“I still do not have a blackberry type phone. I can text quite efficiently from my LG flip phone and I do not want to get into that mode of being an asshole surfing the web and sending emails on my phone.”
I’m with Dave. I used to be required to be available by Blackberry 24/7 when I worked for the West Coast based “Major Tarp Recipient”. When I left I went through major Crackebrry withdrawal.
My husband, who loathed my constant checking of the Crackberry urged me to go back to a regular flip type phone. It’s a really nice phone but now He’s got my undivided attention in the evenings instead of the stupid Crackberry.
These days I think maybe we’re too connected and maybe dialing it back a bit isn’t the worst idea.
Joe….that’s why i like the flip phones. I think that they are better designed to be closer to ear/mouth for more effective listening than smaller phones and PDA style phones.
My goal was to get the smallest phone possible within reason and for it to be flip.
I have land lines & even one hard-wired phone – only thing that worked on 9-11. Also need it for fax – all my letterhead has that number & clients do too. 5 t.v. sets – none of which works. 4 terlets – all working.
Is it just me or is anyone else annoyed by the sound quality of cellphones? Between the noise of traffic when you’re on the street and bad reception, I feel like the only time I can have a decent convo is on at the office or at home on a land line. Maybe I’m losing my hearing or just don’t have the attention span but to me cell phones are more a necessity thing than an enjoyable experience, I get annoyed when my younger cousins want to text back and forth. I’m like “stop texting, call me later and most importantly pay attention in class in your $30K + /annual college!”
I do prepay as well when I’m here as no point in paying the monthly charges when I’m not here.
I forgot to bring my US sim card so went to T-Mobile to get a replacement (rather than getting another number and having to tell everyone what my new number is). It cost me $16 – but for that I got a spare handset and a second sim with $20 call credit on it as well. Hooray!
