I suspect that may be true where you live, but not here. From what I've seen, cell prices in the U.S. are much higher than in other countries.
As far as cell phones in general, the way I figure it is that for about 16 hours a day, I'm at one of two places. When I'm not there, I don't want to be bothered. If I want to talk to someone, I'll either plan ahead or wait. If someone wants to talk to me, they can learn patience. If it's absolutely an emergency, then I probably really don't want to know. Many people I know carry a cell phone for work, but that means that when things go really bad at odd hours, they have to deal with it. Why would anyone choose to do that? Life and death situations? By the time I get there, the person's probably dead anyway, so they can learn patience. And then there's the coverage areas. Besides, I get probably 2 calls a day at work and 2 personal calls a month at home. Why would I pay more for that? -Kevin Graeme > -----Original Message----- > From: Jochem van Dieten [mailto:jochemd@;oli.tudelft.nl] > Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2002 2:49 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: got a job.. > > > Kevin Graeme wrote: > > > Don't forget cell phones.
