I have a Verizon something or other. It's a work phone - not my own. Can't stand cell phones but the job requires me to have it so...
As much as I hate it I have to confess that in a very short time our society - for better or worse - has evolved to depend on the darn things. I find myself getting annoyed with my wife when she has hers in her purse on vibrate when I want to talk to her.
If I can get a dial tone and enter some numbers to reach another phone, that's enough for me.
Just yesterday I was sitting with a group of students - maybe 10 of them -and every one had their cell phones out. One student told the fellow sitting across from her that she was going to text him. I said, "He's right there - you can talk to him." She said, "But we get free texting!" Unbelievable!!!
