I have a Tracphone and use it only rarely. I still have a landline for primary use. I wonder how I'm looked at.

Personally, I think far too many people are far too attached to their phones. It seems there are some who can't keep their hands of their cell for more than 5 minutes at a time. I even see women talking on the cell in the ladies room. Good grief!

We're in the same club. Tracphone was the best thing I ever did. Way cheaper than the least-expensive monthly plan. Works just fine.

I'm thinking of killing the land line one of these days - it's rare that we get a call that we answer due to Caller ID and I'm tired of trying to track down DNC list offenders.

True story. I’m in the ladies room, using the facility. Woman comes in, yakking away, takes the stall next to me. Continues yakking away. I’m just trying to not listen to her conversation, right up until she says (I kid you not)

“Hang on just a second, I need to switch hands, so I can wipe.”

.....wonder how I’m looked at.....

As a spendthrift, a cautious spendthrift.

Throw away the land line and have the number ported to an I phone or a Droid. I am a curnudgeonly geezer and the transition was great.

I have my e mail and phone when I travel with out doing anything special. Everyone knows my number and I don’t miss the phone attached to the wall at all.
