I don't care to check my bank balances or surf the net with an itty-bitty screen. Nor do I need to listen to music. That's why I got a desktop and car stereo.
“Good move. As soon as my current plan expires this winter, that is exactly what I am going to. Only a handful of people will get my new number as well. If you aren’t programmed into my contact list, I won’t answer it.”
I’m as Internet and PC savy as they come. I have two degrees in Computer Science. I own and operate my own business that SUPPORTS other PC users. Yet, I feel no compunction to be “connected” 24 hours a day.
I deposit $100.00 a year for T-Mobile prepaid cell phone service and forward my land line number when I’m mobile. Unused minutes roll each year. I DO NOT give out my cell phone number except to locals when I’m traveling out of state. My conversations are short: “Yes.”, “No.”, “Sorry, I’ll be 15 minutes late.”, “Yes dear, I’ll pick up the pizza.”, and “Let me get back to you when I can get on a land line and we can have a REAL conversation.” (i.e., where I can focus on the conversation instead of driving, put on my hands-free headset, and remote into your PC from my PC so I can fix your problem).
