I usually only have my cell phone on when I'm in my truck driving somewhere. I really don't talk on it that much. I have a minimum plan of 400 minutes a month and use maybe 200 minutes of that. I don't use it for email or web or photos or anything else! What about you?

I use my cell phone quite often. Especially to talk to my hubby when he is out of town which is more often than not here lately. I will be using it more coming up since we will be moving. It will be a couple of weeks before we get our own place, so it will be the only way I can get a hold of people. Our nights and weekends start at 7pm and I use it a lot then.

we can never discount the usefulness of mobile phones. it is much to our advantage that it is now with us for use anytime at our fingertips. i can see that a cellphone is such an important commodity for you. it is also the same for me. whenever i am out of the house, i no longer worry so much as i used to. i can always give my son a call, for as many times as i want to, within the hour to check on him.

I used my cell phone alot to call my hubby when he was working out of town too. No long distance charges? He's found a job here so we don't have to move now. Hope your move goes well!

I'm a non-existent cell phone user, lol. Dreading having to get one next year when I transfer to the University. Too far to travel on a daily basis without one. I dread choosing a plan and having an extra voicemail to check, lol.

I mostly use mine just to have with me when I'm driving somewhere in case something happens. It is handy to have if I need to call someone that I haven't been able to get a hold of otherwise. I also appreciate no long distance charges when I need to call out of state. I think wirefly.com is a good place to go to compare cell phone plans for the different prices, minutes, etc.

I use my phone for calling only also. I have 700 minutes for me and my husband combine. Usually we only use about 400 minutes between the two of us, but in the summer we go camping and use a little more keeping up with things at home.

i have been clinging to my old cellphone. until now, i do not see any need for a new model. it is serving me right for my needs of being able to send and receive text messages and to be able to place calls and receive them. i get to load my cellphone, commonly at 55 days apart. the load of 300 philippine pesos suffices for my needs covering more than 60 days. i observe the 55 days gap in order to make sure that i do not lose my accumulated unused amount for the period.

My cell phone is an older model too. It works fine, so I see no reason to trade it in for a new one!

I'm the type of person that likes to switch phones all the time. When I purchase a phone I think it's cute then I get tired of it and I want a new one and I'm a text message addict, meand my boyfriend spend the whole day text messaging each other, he likes to text mssg me when he's at work and I love to text mssg him when I'm at school.

Our son and daughter use text messaging ALOT! Several hundred texts a month? Wow! They pay their own cell phone bills, though.

I have mine with me almost at all times when I'm not home- When I'm home I won't answer it- People who need to reach me can on my home phone! My daughter and I have a shared plan where we get 700 minutes a month and unlimited "in" calls- Most people we call are verizon users! My daughter calls her friends on her phone- that is where we use most minutes- It's ok because then she doesn't tie up the home phone.

I rarely use my mobile phone. I'm a student so I'm living away from home, but I am on a pay as you go contract so I never buy credit; I have no need for it. The only people that call me are my boyfriend, parents, work colleagues and occasionally my friends too. They all know that my mobile phone is not the best way to get hold of me!

I do not like to talk through cellphone, it is only for the time I'm out. I got a Nokia N-gage, it is the most used cellphone, I listen music, radio and read text articles and some games, this is the main function my cellphone now.

I have 450 minutes on mine, but I never use all the minutes. I sometimes take pictures with my phone, but not too often, and I sometimes text messages too. I always have my phone on me, I will answer if before I answer my land line phone.
