I know most, more so Kids are addicted... But I'm not on it 24/7
But it's great to have if you have the need to contact someone while on the road or they have a need to contact me.
having a smart phone is great again if on the road. As I can search the web, use google maps, buy Movie tickets and Yes, Work from my phone.
I also Make wagers from my phone... which is Great ! so no need to run home to make a wager. maybe you are at a Game and you see something... maybe someone out of the line-up... Now you want to make a Bet... Try finding a Pay phone now a days.
I also get to check my Email. Yes, I know some don't want to be bothered with Email while you are out. But some need it....
Outside of the RX, I do own two businesses with my wife. So the need to get a email and sending a reply at any given time, is for me.
The funny thing is we still have a Home phone, but I never use it. even when the phone rings, I never answer it.. because i know it's not for me. Everyone and Anyone knows my cell # and will contact me that way.
and Yes, cell phones plans can be expensive. But when I'm using in place of a laptop, I feel it is worth it.
I can Travel just about Anywhere and not miss a thing.
Get a prepaid. Throw $20 on it when you need to. For a someone who is not big on talking that could last you a couple months.
And so you know...85% of Americans 18 and older own a cell phone. (and 75% of those admit to using it in the bathroom)
How long does that $20 card last, dont most expire in 90 days. The only valid use for me would be when I'm at the airport and I could call someone to say I landed or are delayed , etc.
If I could get one of them $10 trackphones, buy a $20 card, and it would last for a year, I'd be all over it.
