My husband and I aren’t nearly as committed as you Ox but in general I agree. I was a late adopter and other than when work paid for my blackberry, I either didn’t have a phone or had a prepaid Tracfone. My husband has never bought a cel phone and has only ever had one through work, reluctantly.
I barely ever use my phone and it’s more of an emergency type thing. I loathe even carrying the thing around because unlike most women, I hate even having a purse (though I also reluctantly have one of those too).
But I have to admit that there are a handful of rare times when I’m glad I did have that phone I hate to carry around. But there are also about the same amount of times where I was calling someone in need (not a 911 emergency situation) and the phone was basically no help because I either didn’t have a connection, had a bad connection, or the person didn’t pick up.
