I heard some bad comments about owning a cell phone, but from my experience, that is not entirely truth. Besides those expensive monthly service charge and miscellaneous unreasonable phone bills, it is convenient, and I really need it for my job and other reasons.
Well, sometimes cell phone has its benefit on increasing the opportunity for your family members communicate to each other more often. For instance, my sister might having a boring class at school. Out of nowhere, she might text me and talk to me for while. My brothers might having a lunch at work, and he just call me to see what I was doing at the moment. Those are great moment, and I don't expect that we can be that close. So, what do you think, would that happen to you too?

A lot of people are now using cellular phones as their way of communicating with their families, friends, etc.. It is more convenient than before because it is easy to use and access.You can have it in affordable way because their are many persons who sells this equipment.Yes their are also dis advantages of using cellphones such as; you will be addicted to it- i mean you sleep late at night because of texting from your friends or it can add to your daily expense in loading your cellphones. But it is necessary for nowadays it communicating to our family abd it increase our relationship to them by communicating.

Yes, cell phones have definitely increased the communication between families. Like any other technologies, Cell phones too are like swords that has two sides and it is upto the individual to use the proper side. From my personal experience, I too feel that cell phones have increased the family members communication and I could communicate with them quite freely. Also, the communication with my friends too have been increased to a great extent. Celphone is definitely a boon to mankind.

We have to get one ourselves. Otherwise, it is a waste, and it is the trend of our modern society. We can use our cell phone anywhere WE CAN.

I quite agree with you. Cell phone really increase communication between family. Especially for those family that are not living in same town, or even at other country. Cell phone are one media that can help us get contact with them in regular basis. We have e-mail or facebook or other tools as well, but cellphone are one good media too. Not only with family members, but with your friends that quite far away from you, or lived in other town. Short messages is very quite handy at that point..

communication purposes...but I can also live with out it.

I totally agree to that clorissa. As we know, cellphones are one of the easiest way of communication. Just by simply dialing or typing, our messages can already be conveyed to the other party. We can update our family and friends with the latest news about us just by using our cellphones. Indeed it's ability to connect people is the biggest use we can get from a cellphone.

Cell phone is a necessary tool in nowdays, no cell phone, no friends. Though every monthy service charge. Like me, I should have my own cell phone, because I'm a sales, my customers often would likt to contact me and require something, so no cell phone no business too. Otherwise, cell phone is a bridge of communication with familers, when we miss our familers, we need to call back and know whether they are well or not, and give us concern to elder.

That is right. We desperately need cellphone nowadays. If we are not satisfied with the current service. We can always go for other one. There are plenty of them that provide cheap service too.

Yes, you are right. I have found that the interaction between family memebers have increased after the introduction of cell phones. Previously my Mom used to call me only when my Dad makes call from our landline phone. Now, my Mom has a cell phone and she makes calls to me very often. Cell phone is very important for my family because my sister is in one state, I am in a different state, and my parents reside in an entirely different state.

Having a cell phone is very important to me, especially now with one thing and another... anyway, I mostly use my cell phone to communicate with my loved ones. It's my life line to people. And nowadays, everything is so fast-paced that I would certainly get left behind if I don't have a cell phone, like what happened during my college days.

the main purpose of a cellphone is communication. nowadays, cellphones are not only used for communication. it now has several purposes like internet, games, camera, radio, alarm clock, etc. but of course, there are two sides in all things. cellphones if not used properly can cause harm to our health and also, some people use this as tool to do evil deeds.

i cant imagine i dont have cell phone. i've used cell phone for about 6 years,and i got habit of calling by cell phone. it's very convinient to communicate with others. the shortcoming is as follows:
1.using cell phone for too much time do harm to the health because of radiation.
2.sometimes i have a look at my cell phone over and over again, but nobody call me,maybe people are "kidnapped'' by cell phone.
3.cell phone is prohibited in some places like ICU in hospital.
it is that i can think of .

ya its true that cell phone increases more communication with family.
now a days in our busy lifes we dont have time to spend more with our family and as we were busy with office or colllege so ,for example as we will be in college and call to our parent and ask did they have lunch and giving our updates to them and showing concern to them it shows our love them so in this it increases family member communication
