What a bunch of hooey.

Cell phones have gone through the roof.

The *******s.

Plans.


I just have a dumb phone. Sony Erricson Z520. Bought one with a plan, bought another off
of fleabay when it died, and bought 2 more for 20 bucks each years later. I'm kinda hard
of phones. Electricity and metal dust from the plant don't mix. Still, for 12 years,
I've only used up 2 phones and have two that work. Since I use the same model, I can
break them apart to fix a dead one. I did that with the first two and gained a couple
years out of that.

I don't do data, I do have bluetooth and my land line cordless phones are able to use the
cell phone as a headset. Kinda neat. I also can beam numbers to the phone from my
ancient palm pda.

I'm paying 48 dollars a month in a rural area for 500 minutes a month nationwide with
rollover. I don't talk much most of the time but when I do, I don't worry because of the
banked rollover minutes.
