actually i have 2--i have my main cellphone, this sleek Sony Ericsson K610i which i got for free with my subscription, and a Nokia 1112, which a friend gave us so that i could have the sim of another network. actually, it is not uncommon for filipinos to have 2 or 4 cellphones, one each for the different phone companies. this started with the unlimited texting offered by one company, which made this offer exclusive to their own network. then the other companies followed suit. so people started buying several phones just so they could have different networks and avail of unlimited texting. i think this is inconvenient and the networks have made sms impersonal and difficult. it is impersonal because if i text somebody from a different network, he will not respond because he is on unlimited texting from another network. sigh...

Actually I have 3 cell phones. Two of them are Nokia phones whereas the other is the LG phone. I gave one Nokia cellphone to my son but now he had bought a Sony Ericsson K610i similar as yours. At present I am using the LG phone. I use the Nokia phone as my alarm clock.

I only have one. It is an old model. Nokia 6101. My friend gave it to me. I am not really that updated when it comes to gadgets. All I want is something to use to communicate to my family, relatives and friends. Since not all are living nearby. My cellphone is a big help to me. I always carry it wherever I go. It is a necessity. I always use it. If given a chance, I would like to buy a Nokia N95. Another obsolere model. lol I saw it in a store somewhere. I like its 3G features. I want to try video call. Especially my husband works abroad. I want to see him while we are talking. And so he could see us also. And our kids. I hope I could save soon before Christmas. So, I can buy it as a gift for myself.

We (my husband and I) have one cell phone and haven't had it very long, either. We bought it to use for emergencies purposes and that all it has been used for. Our job has us driving to remote places and the job is time sensitive, so when our car breaks down we need it fixed or a replacement out right away. After a few incidents of having to walk several miles to a phone, we decided to get a cell phone for when that happened. Thankfully (and ironically), since we've gotten the cell phone, we haven't needed it.

I just have one... i don't want to be troubled with simultaneous ringing and texting... one is enough for me... when i work with my laptop... sometimes, i leave my cellphone unattended... i prefer chatting online than texting... atleast it is way faster...using the keyboard...

I have 2 cell phones. One that I use steady in Canada and when I am with my fiance in the states I use my other one that we have an awesome couples plan on. It's too bad that there wasn't a plan for all of North America. Like a couples plan, as my fiance is in the US Army for another 2 years and I live in Canada. There use to be a plan where there was unlimited talking between couples in all of North America but they don't have that plan anymore. Anyways, once we figure out where we're gonna live then we dump one of the phones.
