I've a cellphone, but I hardly ever use it. My phone is pre-paid, and generaly 20 dollars will last about 6 or more months for me.
1. My mother
2. Wrong number?

I have a droid. It's nice, but it's like an old lady owning a Porsche.

1. Mostly use it for internet access.
2. I get about 3 calls a week from my mother, if that.
3. A wrong number from a dope in nyc who's left me incomprehensible messages for a year.
4. The camera comes in handy.

1. My mom
2. My fiancee
3. My sister if she needs something

But they all know I prefer texting so it's only my mom who regularly calls me.

That's all, plus sometimes I call one of my workmates with whom I usually commute to work.

I have about 10 or less numbers in my phone. I never accept calls from hidden numbers, or from numbers that are unknown to me.

I hardly use my cell phone. I carry it, mostly for emergencies. I keep it off until I have to make a call.

Mine goes back to 15/04/10.

127 family
47 friends
18 work related
17 services

The first 2 are inflated due to missing calls or having to redial after one of us looses signal, etc. I can often go days without a call.

I didn't have a cellphone until I went away to college and ended up in the hospital twice with no way to reach people. My family bought me one after that. I still have using it a lot of the time.

People are always calling/texting me. I turn my phoen off 90 percent of the time or just let it run out of batteries. I mostly use it for appointment calls, some texting when I don't want to see people in person (a lot) or the alarm feature.

My outward calls are
1. My Mother
2. Appointments/University

Inward, I get a LOT of texts and calls from people I know. For some reason, despite my being very verbal about how I hate talking on the phone they continue to call/text. I do prefer texting though, since I can never tell when it's my turn to talk on a legit phone conversation.

Hmm, no one ever contacts me. Really just my parents and an occasional friend. The last time I received a text was so long ago I don't remember!

Why am I paying 70 bucks a month for this thing?

My cellphone is not a social tool, not as much as many people would like it to be. I'd say more like the only lifeline I can count on in case hell is creeping up on me and I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere. If $55/month means the difference between life and death, it's a price well paid.

1-Wrong numbers
2-Sales pitches

I wish they would both stop to. :lol: The similarities never occured to me. wow. Yes, I would say it's accurate in comparison.
1-Prefer writeing/texting over speech.
2-Doesn't like socialising, but can do a little.
3-Occasionaly talk to my relatives or my limited number of friends, for what little attention I actualy need.
4-I'll answer your question, or put in my pointless oppinion across, then hope it doesn't go further.
5-I complain in private alot.

I have had this phone for 6 months and I have 4 missed calls from my mom, 1 from my boyfriend (I only pick it up if it's him :lol: ) and 8 from random companies.
I don't use the phone part.. I only use the texting.. ~4000/month

Did it by chance say "who dis?"

That's my favorite random text.
