I have always had a love-hate relationship with phones. Because of work they are the bane of my existence.
My first job was as a PBX switchboard operator and even today, I am the one to answer all the departments incoming phones. You cannot imagine how much I despise the sound of rinigng phone!
If it not one of MY custom ring tones on the cell I DO NOT want to answer.
But I am never without my cell (except when I get home and forget it is still out in the car). Because of my friends, its more for txt than voice. But about 2 weeks ago I used it to call the cops when my car got totalled. It was rather handy at the time.
Other than txts I think its other prime use if to look up addresses of businesses I want to shop at or check their hours.
I really wish the major carriers would put a cheap plan out there with unlimited text & data and only about 100-200 minutes of voice time.
