CELL PHONES...Are They Really That Necessary???

Nothing wrong with having a cell phone, it's up to you to moderate how much and what you use if for.

In Oz, it is illegal to use a cell ph while driving. There are cameras at some intersections that can pick this up. Big brother is watching....

I'm a boomer and almost never have my cell phone with me.
Partly because I worked in a SCIF for 30 years.

Even if you're off to see the Wizard?

It makes doing business much easier. I've bought a house using my cell phone, at a restaurant. They started it, I didn't. I'm just trying to keep up. If you own a landline, they laugh at you. I converted my landline to a cell.

I may be the only person on the planet that doesn't own a cell phone.

Oh, I'm sure there are quite a few more like you!!! cr8crshr/Bill

Got first cell phone (calls only, not a smart phone) in the 1990. No monthly fees, I think it was like 20 cents per minute rate, and I could go months without any cell phone bill, and when I did get a bill it was usually less than $5 for the month.
Got rid of digital TV many years ago too. Had a Channel Master OTA receiver / recorder to get local channels before most of them started streaming on the internet for free.
I'm still looking at ways to reduce internet costs? Tryed tethering my smart phone WiFi for home internet / streaming, but signal and speed were not very good, so I still have the two bills for internet and cell service.

I still have a land line....I give out my LL number to just about all doctors and other professionals for a reason....I GET VERY FEW SPAM CALLS ON MY CELL PHONE!!! Yeah, it's costs me more but my wife gets numerous spam calls on her cell all the time and I get very few calls on mine. I hate it when my cell phone rings and it's a junk call but it doesn't happen very often.
