The Red Brick Times

Am I the last person in the industrialized world not to have a cellphone? Feels like that sometimes. My last job provided me with one and I found that, except for work related issues, I very rarely used it. Still, every once in a while it did come in pretty handy. But no, I refuse to purchase one and thereby enter into a vicious monthly contracted billing cycle. As if that weren't enough here are another 10 reasons why not to buy into their scam.

I have one because there are no more phone booths in America. Three people have the number and its never turned on. I have it so I can call a tow truck or my wife. People always ask "Why do have it if it never on?" the, of course,being "So I can call when I need to." Imagine blank stare.

The part of the service contract I must have missed is that you're supposed to need to talk to someone who's not where you are all the time

My dad has a cell phone. When he calls my cell phone I jump out of the tub and puddle across two rooms just in time for voicemail to intercept. I call him back immediately, but he has already turned his cell back off again. Same rationale as Tony.

On the other hand, my brother has a cell phone, a Blackberry, a pager and a secretary to keep him in all the loops simultaneously. But that's what his job requires.

Me? I've got all you people on this here party line. What more is needed?
