Thread: Anyone here with no cell Phone?

Me and you, Ryan. A phone!

I have multiple computers which can also make and receive phone calls. I don't see anything wrong with talking to other people.

I do wonder, however, why those of you who do not have cell phones or dislike them, feel this way. After all you are on a discussion board communicating with thousands of people, so it isn't like you are hermits.

The future is coming. Not everyone has to accept it, but it will arrive either way.

I wish I could live without them ,, no one visits their friends and family anymore ,, heck we don't even talk anymore we just text. but like Rez said ,, I work away from home 260 days a year ,, its my only form of contact with my family and friends so ,, in our new world , unless I want to be isolated im forced to accept it ,, maybe next year when I retire, but the kids still live so far away ,, and so do friends too tc

I am a hermit.I want to be isolated.I worked in the med.Prof for 43 yrs.I was on call 24/7,for 43 yrs.
I was tied to pagers and cell phones for 43 yrs even when I took a very rare week of Vacation,maybe 10 times in 43 yrs.
You want to contact me? send me an email,I may read it,if not, your communication can be deleated.
I long for a simpler life,pre cellphone.

@ 65 years old I've only had a cell phone for 2 years and I love it. It is a 'smart' phone, a Droid Razr. How could I resist buying a phone with a name like that ? The ability to communicate 24/7 is a good thing AFAIC.

You're not a hermit Bill, your just a little crabby at times; oh wait ! ,,,,,I got it!!! ,,,your a Hermit Crab,,,

I have an old flip phone for just in case. I don't text and only take it on vacation when I go by car in case we are needed back home for an elderly relative. Other than that could live without one. Mind you pay phones are getting few and far between.

When that flip phone dies I have another flip phone to replace it given to me by a buddy who constantly up grades.
