So I've had a cell phone for almost two months now,

[LaraMN]

and I have never called anyone, except my husband, from the store. I don't even know my own phone number, and I lost the phone inside my pocket for over a week. THIS is why pre-paid was a good idea. I'm just burning through the minutes.:rofl:

[LostinVA]

1. That's why my cell is a pay-as-you-go Virgin cell

Because I think I've used it three times since Christmas...

[LaraMN]

4. I like knowing I have it, in case my car breaks down, or something.

That's pretty much why I got it- that and so I can be reached when I'm at class.

[LostinVA]

30. Me too -- esp. for at night

[LSK]

14. i got one of those too

Dont forget to recharge every 3 months or else you loose your #.

[LostinVA]

29. I have it set up so it adds the minimum on ($10 or $15, I forget)

[MissB]

2. It took me a few months to learn my phone number.

If I put the damned thing on vibrate or silent, I'm really out of luck.

[LaraMN]

3. I would have to call my friend to ask her what my number is.

She has it, but she's never called me on it.:D I haven't given it to anyone else, because people call the house too much as it is.

[MissB]

5. You know what is the worst thing?

I'm paying $30 a month for a stupid camera phone that I can't even use at my house, or anywhere in my neighborhood. Cingular apparently doesn't have a tower in the area, or if they do it is far, far shorter than the trees. Good fuck, I have to nearly lean my head against one specific window in my bedroom in order to get *maybe* three bars.

Oh yeah, it's great for an emergency. :rofl:

I could use it to call my family (who all live out of state) since I have a nation-wide call plan. But I'd have to have reception.....

[LaraMN]

9. Oh god!

:rofl:

[driver8]

31. Same with me...if I want to use my long distance minutes, I have

to jump in my car and drive a couple of miles. I have Cingular, also.

[Gormy Cuss]

6. I can't remember my number either.

I listed myself in the address book so that I could find the number when I needed to know. I'm the only person listed under C for Clueless.
:P

[Taverner]

7. Hey - wanna call me

I promise I'll answer

[LaraMN]

10. Call ya what?

:evilgrin:

[Midlodemocrat]

8. I have had the same cell number for years,

and I can't go ANYWHERE without a lil' Midlo calling...so I got a blackberry for work and added a phone and haven't told anyone the number.

Yippee for me!!!!!!

[LaraMN]

11. You're a smart woman.

I can't WAIT until my kids are old enough to call me when I leave the house. :scared:

[Midlodemocrat]

12. Trust me, Yes. You. Can.

I haven't gone anywhere in five years that someone isn't calling me...Mom, when are you coming home? Mom, can Patrick come over? Mom, can you pick me up some eye liner? Mommy, Michael's being mean to me.

It. Sucks. If it weren't for the fact that I would probably run out of gas and need it, I would leave the little fucker home. The phone that is, not the kid.

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Lara, I like ya

Even without the boots. :thumbsup:

[LaraMN]

16. Awww!

Ditto, sweetcheeks! (sans the boot part, of course!)

[ThomCat]

15. I have a cell phone (personal) and a Blackberry (work).

I never use either one of them, and I couldn't tell you the phone number for either of them either.

Oh, and I work in telecommunications.

[LaraMN]

23. The irony!

:rofl:

[XemaSab]

17. :spray:

"I lost the phone inside my pocket for over a week."

I now have spit all over the screen. Gross.

[LaraMN]

20. Along with my boot fetish, I have issues with jackets...

Apparrently I did an incomplete search of them, at first.

[XemaSab]

25. I hear ya

I lost a container of Carmex in my purple rain jacket for a year.

I knew it was in there, I just couldn't find it, until the fateful day when I misplaced the key to the project site, and emptied my pockets in front of the bossman.

When I found it I almost DIED laughing. He was not amused.

[LaraMN]

26. Carmex is good stuff.

I even kind of like the scent. I know alot of people don't, but there are some vanilla notes in there that I dig.

[XemaSab]

27. Carmex gets the job done

[LaraMN]

28. Damn straight!

I think you should change your sig line to that. It's prudent advice.

[snacker]

18. You sound like me....

not only do I not know my own phone number, I don't even know how to answer the thing if someone calls me...which will probably never happen because I never turn it on-----emergency-use-only.

[LaraMN]

21. Okay- I CAN answer mine!

:rofl: That's hilarious!

[CarpeDiebold]

19. i'll PM you my # and you can call me

that way, it'll show up on my caller ID and I'll be able to tell you what your # is :evilgrin:

[LaraMN]

22. Oh, you are a genius!

:rofl: :spank:

[CarpeDiebold]

24. i hope you're not implying

that i didn't have the best intentions in offering my help.

:D

[Lydia Leftcoast]

32. I just switched to prepaid, but there's a hitch

The company transferred my previous cell phone number---to the wrong phone. I'm waiting for them to get it untangled. :-(

Once it's transferred, though, I expect to save a lot of money.
