I think I would be much happier living in a cave hunting mammoths for lunch, but some people invented Fodors and they told me to unlock my cell and SIM card and it took me days to get it done and now ... ofcourse I am going to use it after all i've been through.

When it comes down to it, the people I love and who love me are at home wondering about me and like to hear me call in once in a while (or may need me).

I like to make phone hotel and restaurant reservations on the same day and conveniently.

If I am traveling with friends and we decide to separate it is easier to get back into contact them for meeting up again.

The cell phone allows me freedom and I don't have to worry about phone cards running out or buying new ones at certain tobacci opening hours and incoming calls are free of charge.

I can even call someone in the US for a relatively low price and say "guess what" I am eating at the place where we ate last year and I am saluting you with lemoncello, and they can hear the sounds of the piazza and laugh with me.

Now that I have traveled with my own triband cell phone I will not travel any other way.

PS: You can call when you like from the convenience of your own hotel room without surcharges.

Nothing like sitting in bed and calling someone to tell them you miss them (or them call you for that matter).

I would love to leave my problems behind and travel without a (goddamn)cellphone! The reasons I will have one with me my 90 year-old mother and 92 year-old uncle. What can I do for them over the phone? Solve their problems, soothe their nerves etc. You say I should stay home until they die? They may be here for another 10 years.

I'm with you Subcon. I can't for the life of me figure out who these bozos are talking to while they're walking through the grocery store or while they're pulling out in front of me without looking on the highway. Watch how "unnecessary" they become when further scientific research reveals they do indeed cause brain tumors and/or cancer.

LOL, Very funny, Ziana

I want to know what kind of sub contractor can shut his phone off at 3. Being in that business also that is what is amazing me more than anything. Id hate to have a flood on the jobsite and have to wait till the next day to resolve it. And arent you supposed to working till 3:30? Must be in the union (lol)

I wish I had one when I was in England last year. My girlfriend was in Manchester and I was in Lancaster. We were to meet up in Skipton to go into York together. A 45 minute drive for me turned into 2 1/2 hours one Sunday when I got lost in winding roads through sheep pastures. She waited in the rain wondering if I had crashed in some ditch, and finally headed back to Manchester not knowing what happened. Didn't see a payphone for hours, and the pubs were closed that Sunday morning. Cell phones would have saved a lot of worry for us.

Ditto what Nikki said.
