Cell phones are worthless.

such a broad statement, it's difficult to agree totally

as far as craftsmanship, i agree
as far as status symbols, i agree
as far as availability to youths, i agree

the flip side is that the convenience is unmatched. being able to get in touch with someone in an emergency is awesome. being able to have access to information at your fingertips can also be wonderful

cellular telephones are a luxury that has become an unnecessary necessity

Not true. A lot of the features are worthless but being able to communicate on the fly is nice!

I think we have a love hate relationship with them.

Personally I have one of those throw-away phones just for using with I need them for a trip.

At home I prefer my phone be attached to the wall.

I pay less for cell service than i would for a land line.
Gophone has done me well so far.

i have a cricket phone

where i have unlimited service
i can talk and text all i want

and i only pay $21.50 a month

you know how on house phones if your
on foodstamps and you can get a discount plan on
your phone

cricket is like that

i would had been paying $35 a month
but with that discount im paying the $21.50

they also have another phone

called assurance
which u can get the phone and service for free
if you qualify

but you cant have another cellphone with the discount

Here, Cricket service sucks big time.

I have AT&T and it stinks on my iphone.

I also have AT&T and an iPhone. My service is great.

im not a fan of at&t used to have then
many moons ago and my bill just was too much for my pocket

i wont ever use t-moble
heard nothing but complaints

my daughter used to have them
and if she was one day late
they would cut her off

my older sister has then
and she always complaining about them
dont know why she doesnt switch

I have Sprint, service is great, but the phone I use sucks, it takes lousy pictures, its slow, been searching to upgrade, but I sure as hell dont want to go with a two year contract again.

the only thing i dont like about sprint
is they charge you every 3months

my ex hubby had them and his bill was beyond crazy
$300 he ended up switching over to cricket
for he couldnt afford that


cricket doesnt have any form of contract
i have never had one

Not all that convenient. My sons have cell phones, the only, phones they have, and when I need one of them I can't get hold of them cause they always have them turned off. I leave messages and 4 or 5 days later I hear from them

Home phones can be turned off, too. I just have a cell phone. I often keep the ringer off if I'm at work or with friends. I'm pretty good at checking it, though, to see if I've missed any calls.

However, I think the convenience is for the people with the cell phones.

METROPCS and I don't have limited anything!


$40 a month too!

Whoot Whoot!

AT&T are thieves!

I have a pay as you go phone and when it gets low it tops up at $5.00 intervals. I use it only for emergencies or just to confirm an address or time so I only spend about $5.00 every couple months. Home phone is only $21.00; where as the average cell plan here starts at $40.00.

To me they are worth more than landlines. Mostly if they are smart. No matter how cheap a landline might be it can't equal the comfort of having a cellphone in ma pocket.

I would rather have a cell phone any day compared to a landline.... If your waiting on a call it does not hold ya to waiting... and you can be reached no matter where you are...

I could live with out my smart phone, but why should I? I use it to keep in touch with friends and family and to connect to the internet. I use it for mapping and I have apps that help me figure out where I'll be parking for the night as well as where I can pick up supplies and as entertainment. When you live in an 18 wheeler all these things become very important. Sure, I could do it without my phone and I did for a long time. But having it adds greatly to my quality of life.

I have T-Mobil. I went with them because they have the largest 4G network. Sense I travel all over the USA I need that kind of coverage.
