cell phones

[mt.biker]

You ever wonder if we're all going to die of brain cancer from all this time we spend on cell phones?

I must admit i'm trying to reduce how much time i spend on my cell phone because of this concern and also the fact that a phone can chew up alot of your free time.

I just got one. only for work, but I barely use it. It has proven very useful when I'm out on delivery and no one told me what apartment to go to.

But yeah, I love this new digital system, cause It uses so much less power. My phone will last four or five days on one battery!

I use it 1 hour or less on a typical day.... but I don't have a normal phone.

I dont even use mine more than 100 minutes/month...so Im not worried about brain cancer...
plus dont most new flip style phones have built in blockers to reflect many waves (I hear nextel is big on this)

well i use my cellphone for less than 10 minutes a day unless i'm in emergency or i have to do a quick order. other than that the home one suits me just fine

I generally use it one hour or less, unless it is long distance like to my brother or long distance friends. If it is local, I have the philosophy that if you can talk to me for over an hour on the phone, hell we could meet up and do it in person.

i didn't vote, because the internet connection here sucks, but im on my cell phone from 2-5 hours a day at least. Id be lost with out it.

I use my phone like it is grafted to my ear...very bad. Nextel 126*61*1232 :banana:

I'm one of those 1-2 hour people. I have phone at my house too. People used to always call my house and then my cell phone when I wouldn't be home to take their call. But I think that they all just got lazy or something because they all just call my cell first now. I always vowed never to depend on a cell phone but now I freak out if I don't have it on me.

I dunno. I like to think that because most of my calls are through Nextel Direct Connect and I use my phone like a walkie talkie that I am not that susseptable (I killed that word spelling wise...haha) to cancers of the brain. I literally use it ALL the time. I even posted my DC #here, haha, AND on my home answering machine I am like "I can ALWAYS ALWAYS be reached on my phone at...."

[mt.biker]

does anyone get sick of always been just a phone call away? I'm getting tired of people always being able to reach me...

[Shot 2 Hel]

it depends, if im on my nights and weekends thing ill use my cell phone if its long distance (i hate how MS has their long distance things divided, I cant call 15 minutes away w/o it being long distance) then i try to stay on for maybe 45 minutes.

Ya it gets tiring sometimes. But if it is someone I dont want to talk to all I gotta do is press the "End" button and voice mail takes care of it.
