[virus]

and from the no side =)

dont see the point of them... if i need to make a call that bad i always manage to find a pay phone(for you youngins that a phone that you need to put money into to make it work)(dont use the phone cards either) boy i need to get out more... that and i hear all my friends complain about their bills and how they go through the min. to quick...

[Sooky]

Nope!

My life is just fine without a cell phone. I see no need in paying for a cell phone when I can just use the home phone. I think they're overrated, plus they give you brain tumours...

cingular

[magking1971]

Yep I have one, and the service is verizon.
I have my regular job plus a side job that I need a phone for so people can get ahold of me while Im at work.

[MajorDamage]

I think ours is Verizon. My Mom pays for it cuz its hers and mine, but I payed for the sweet flame cell phone cover $6 on hot topic clearance! Boo yaah!

ENDO!

Verizon Wireless and a cheezy Audiovox phone. I have the cheapest local calling plan availible. I think it's called "Local Basic" or something like that. It's $29.99 a month.

[Tubby_Ninja]

Yes, but my company pays for it.

This info should help with your report.

With all the hidden fees and long distance charges, plus the fact that you have to maintain separate long distance service on top of local service, I just dropped my land line altogether.

It made more sense to me, both physically and economically to go with a cell phone. Due to the fact that I could take it anywhere and have all my long distance included in one package.

I work for Motorola, and its interesting to note that in alot of the "developing" countries you see their infrastructure being based entirely on wireless cell phones. These countries have skipped the fixed, "land line" infrastructure that the United States (and other developed countries) put into place first.

As a matter of fact, the "land line" infrastructure is one of the reasons that the United States is now behind in cellular technology. All over the U.S. there are competing architectures: CDMA, TDMA, IDEN (Nextel), etc. when in Europe things center around one standard: GSM.

What I wouldn't give for a unified standard in the U.S. where the user would get a better value in being able to go anywhere and work with that area's system. Not to mention being able to utilize the higher bandwidth capabilities of GSM/GPRS.


For the record, I currently use Sprint on a Motorola StarTAC family phone. However, I am considering a move to Cingular.

[oldsoldier]

Yep...have one. Motorola startac, verizon east coast plan. Am not going back to a regular line when I get home for the same reasons that alka listed. Besides, my company will issue me one free.

[PigSweat]

Mine is on Bell Mobility

Sprint PCS

Best for me as a college student that is constantly moving between 3 cities. Wish I could find some way to attach multiple phone numbers to it tho.
