I totally agree with you. I too have seen people jumping up and running to answer the phone – sometimes knocking over a glass of water or tripping over something – just to answer a ringing phone. And mind you, these are also telephones that are connected to an answering machine….go figure.

How much is human relationship worth in terms of dollar. I presume you need to communicate in order to maintain relationship. So I use a cellphone though it does not help my financial image it helps my human image

Skype it.

Lose the landline, don’t get a cell. Buy skypein (20 euro/year), it comes with free voicemail. When you leave just leave your computer on and presto chango you get all the messages as voicemail. You can get a number local to most of your contacts so mommy and daddy and John from down the block and whoever the hell don’t pay crazy rates. When you get it you skype them (free to US numbers – any US numbers – for this year) and you talk for free.

I’d never use a cell phone to discuss anything I wouldn’t feel comfortable shouting aloud on a crowded street (which is pretty much what people do with them, anyway). They’re not nearly as secure as folks think they are. I’ll use one when they pry one into my cold, dead fingers.

I had a cell phone for about three years, which was costing me $40 per month. I definitely didn’t use it enough to warrant that expense, so I dumped it and switched to Vonage, which gives me 500 minutes for about $15 per month. Quite a nice little savings. Now my fiance is ditching her cell phone too, which was $45 per month and will just use my Vonage account. We have bought a Cingular Go phone for emergencies, which is going to be around $12 per month.

No cell phones for me, I had one for about a year, and hardly used it. Then just qut it and have been cell-free for 4 years now! It is MY LIFE to live, not be controlled by a pesky little bell/ beeper, ring tone whatever. Ever hear of Pavlov Dog? I swear people w/ cell phones become so conditioned to ‘run and catch that call’ it makes me laugh at them.
