nowadays almost everybody have their own mobile phone and its just really a common thing nowadays unlike before the mid 80s in which only those very rich guys can afford it but now i think even children age 15 and below can be thought on how to use one. some critics try to know if its really worth the expenditure attached with the use of mobile phone.what i mean here are the credit load you must activate so that you can use your phone. so is the cellphone hype okay to you?

Mobile phone is indispensable for me. My husband met with an accident and undergone two major surgeries. He had other health problems too. So when I have to go out, I keep in touch with him regularly to know that he is fine. He also can contact me through my mobile, in case of need.

Hi there. Yes, my cellphone is really valuable for me especially in the means of communication. Without it, I can't communicate with my friends at all since my family transferred to a new place, miles away from our hometown. .Without my cellphone, it will definitely be hard to communicate with my friends and most especially with my entire family including my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.. Also, I can use my cellphone for emergency purposes .. It is really valuable not just for me but for most of us..

ofcourse they are valuable, their valuability could be understood by the success they have achieved in this age. we were already using the landlines but these mobilephones have outdated them, its because of the ease and the best facilities we are getting. we can communicate anytime and anywhere to the person to whom we wish to talk to, which is not possible with landlines.

The more we have cellphones, the more the price and the rates will come down. It is something like the KitchenAid I had. I did not use it for a year, but now I use it all the time. So right now, I am just getting comfortable with it, but I will be using it regularly as soon as I can get on it without having to look it up in the owner's manual. As for the expenditure, if you bought something according to what you need, many of us would not be using computers either, so you buy a cellphone in estimation of future needs and that is what I did.

Cell phone is considered as an indispensable item in my daily life. It is an essential device for me to communicate with loved ones, friends and others and be accessed by them wherever I am. I need it badly when I stay away from home for quite sometimes especially going outstation or abroad. For me, I just feel unsafe and uneasy if I leave the cell phone at home when I am going elsewhere for I might miss any important calls then.

cell phone - Sell phoen on the carpet is dead
Yeah it is kind of silly taht nowadays every kid have a sell phone , even I see some of homeless people have a sell phone.I used to have one too and fell like I was addicted to it.I just have to check it all the time and if I forget it at home I would feel like i didn't have a hand or so.How silly it was.Now if I don't have one, I am not missing it at all and just see how much money I save and feel much more relaxed.

hi laurika yes your right. cellphone is very important for communication and its all worth the expenses for maintaining it in exchange with communication .i have many loveones far from it and i get to contact them through my mobile phone. cellphone is also important in cases of emergencies.

yes, it is. it really is. ever since i got my cell phone, i have used it not only for calls and voicemail. i put my calendar on it, i have my alarm on it. i have all my information from classes stored and my to do list. so if i were to lose the phone, im pretty sure i would lose track of a lot of stuff. what u say about that is true, i see kids around with cell phones that don't really use it to its full potential and just has it because they think its cool. but you really can't blame them. since prices have dropped so much its understandable that some parents would buy cell phones for their kids to please or reward them.

what a good answer. yes i think you have mention reasons why kid nowadays digs cellphones. i also appreciate cellphone nowadays because its so precious more than for communication but you could use it also for scheduling,organizing,reminder,internet, games and every good stuff on it. i could not sk for more because as the years goes by it improves its features.its really important to you and me.

My cellpone is nothing to me but a watch now.Nobody i have to keep touch with.Everyone is busy what he should be busy with,nobody care keep relation with you.When I wanna call someone,I will be forced not to disturb others' life and work.So cellphone is nothing for me.I only use it when I need others' bussiness with me.We are always on business and talking about business ,then give an end of the talk and return to go on our work separately.I hate to do official business according official principles all the time.
