How much do you use your cell phone?

I actually have two cell phones. One for my businesses that I prepay $15 a month on. The other one really belongs to my co-worker. She has two phones and was letting her sister use one until her sister started running up the bill. Since she has a contract until May, she doesn't want to pay the $250 charge to terminate the contract so she's letting me use the phone. I'm not really a big chatter so I don't use it that much but I can take pictures with it and send emails and text my sister and can use it when I need to and since I don't have to pay for any of it, it's great. So, how much do you use your cell phone? Are you a constant chit-chatter or use it just for emergencies or important calls between you and family? People on the bus are always on their phones and I think that's terribly rude! Are you considerate or do you just do what you want regardless of anyone around you?

Hello! I do have one cellphone, but I do not use it constantly. Only when I need to tell my mother something. It is a maximum of thirty minutes per week... Perhaps thirty minutes a month. I usually make short calls to tell that I am not going home on that right time, or that I am doing this or that. I could easily live without a cellphone, it would make no difference for me. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

I use it normally for SMS and receiving calls from my family and friends. I also use it for emergency calls. But I do take pictures with it and listening to music. It's just great to realize that I can have multimedia anywhere I go. The photos I take from it are usually uploaded to my online accounts so I can share them with friends.

I like the fact that I was finally able to take pictures of my 13 cats and send them to my email so I could let my family see them since they've never seen them. And, I have talked about them so much over the past 6 - 7 years.

I don't pretty much use my own mobile phone myself. I'd only use it when I need to and even when its loaded with credits, I'm not avid about using them.. when my brother or sister needs some credits on their mobile phones, I'll let them transfer the amount the they need. The only time that I really used my mobile phone was during school and I really had to catch up on a lot of people and do a lot of contacts to determine the time to meet up with them and all that. In public, if I have to use my phone, I always do it discreetly.

Since my cellphone is prepaid meaning we load it credits, it depends on how much credits I have when I use my cellphone. If I have a lot I always subscribe to unlimited texting services. I seldom make calls though because it's expensive.

My business cell is prepaid as well and I pay 25¢ a minute for calls and 15¢ a minute for texting.
