Joy and Clay are just like me. I got a cheap pay-as-you go mobile phone in
case the car broke down so I could call my breakdown organisation. DH got
one as well, but much later. We're frequently out separately, so it's handy
to call home or each other if being later than intended will have any
consequences e.g. spoilt meal.
We both have texting and voice mail switched off at out service provider, so
they are purely phones - we manage perfectly well without either of those.
DH went to New Zealand for a month on his own earlier this year - not being
able to walk far there was no point in me travelling 24 hours each way just
to sit and wait for him to come back from his photographic hikes. He got
"Passport" put on his phone so I phoned him from our home phone every day
and he got charged 50p off his pre-payment on the mobile for the connection.
The only people who have each of our mobile numbers are us so when it rings
we know who it is.
I do call him at home if I'm out shopping if he wants something specific and
they haven't got it so he can say if he wants a substitute or not, and I use
it for phoning from taxis to get me home if I'm out without the car.
It's a PHONE!!! I don't need an internet connection when I'm out. I don't
want to play games when I'm out. I have a camera to take photos. Can't see
why anyone would want to leave me a message - they can get me later - or
text me. It's a PHONE!!!!
