You mean withOUT?

MissMe said:

Exactly

yup! i don't answer mine 99% of the time anyway

vainandy said:

If I do not want to be bothered... I let if go to voice mail, then screen my calls. Just because I have a cell doesn't mean I will answer no matter what.

Oh me too Veronica! What if my kids need me, what if I am in an accident and need help pronto! A few weeks ago, my car stalled. My husband was there like my knight in shinning armor in a flash!!

My kids are always calling me on my cell. This is the only way to know where my 14 year old is at all times.[/quote.]

ditto, I have two teens and we all have cell phones

I can live without a cell phone because I prefer to speak to the person in person, but I do need a cell phone.

that's me too but I perfer landlines to cell phones

I use my cellphone more as an alarm clock and for playing games than for actual talking

Can anyone remember life without a cellphone?

vainandy said:

MissMe said:

When you are holiday/vacation, don't you feel like flinging it in the sea?

Nikster said:

No way! I have had mine for about 12 or 13 years!

Yes!!!!!

to all of you who say you need your phone to keep track of your kids, how did your parents keep track of you?

MissMe said:

Yes . . . I have only had mine since this year

Different times brotha...when we grew up, you could play outside and not worry about safety (that much). I remember being gone from morning til sundown...nowadays, kids can't even play in their front yards without someone watching them.

Also, back then, two parents usually didn't work...it's almost a must for both parents to work in todays world.

Ah, the good ole days...

MissMe said:

Yes but I can't remember anyones phone numbers without my cell phone

In a sense, I feel children with cell phones use them as safety guards and can abuse them.

When I was a child, I was without a cell, and I had to tell my parents where I was, how long I would be, and when I would be home.
I do think kids with cell phones abuse this. They KNOW their parents can contact them, and they can switch off or ignore the call, with numerous excuses. Therefore they would never dare go to a public telephone box and tell their parents where they are.

I think alot of kids have it too easy these days.

MissMe said:

If my daughter ignores my calls when she is at a friends house she will not go anywhere again and I usually have her call me from the house phone that she is at not her cell phone just to make sure she is there. kids can be too sneaky

I don't have a cell phone so yes.

To some extent yes, depends on where you live. But trouble has been always there. As a parent you could of say that when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, or during the Cuban missle crisis, or during the Atlanta child murders.
