Everybody In The Whole Cell Block...
I have a confession to make. Anyone recall an entry I made once upon a time about ME not giving up on Tether variety of phone - rejecting with all due prejudice those cursed CELL PHONES!?
Well - Having some mid-road crises and finding no phone nearby has an impact on one. So luckily
TracFone (pay as you go mobile phones) lowered the price on their cheapest phones to a scant $19.99. Just buy time cards and I'm good to go without being in debt to Ma Bell or the Baby Bells. I must say, my new
Nokia 1100, while lacking color screen or other superfab bells and whistles, will serve my Emergency Needs.
I am still apprehensive about irradiating my brains by holding a miniature microwave generator to my cranium, but I assure you its just for emergencies and little else. Who knows - maybe becoming a walking Nite Light will keep me from bumping into things in the dark, eh?
I STILL HATE CELL PHONES - but it looks like a necessary evil just like, Money, Cars and This Blog. Whew! I feel better for having gotten that off my chest. Oh shush yo mouf!!! Like you don't cave-in once in a while.

I originally got a cell phone for the free long distance, which was cheaper than land-line phones, and was very necessary for a long-distance relationship! I've given Sprint over a thousand dollars by now, I am sure... |

I got one last year, not being a cell fan. The airtime has expired twice: apparently you have to actually use it. I occasionally enter a competion via message just to keep it alive. Eye Lv u dvemn! |

I too have a grasshopper, young cell phone. A Tracfone, to be exact. I not only buy the annual service, we get enough use out of ours that I bought the card that doubles the minutes.
Speaking of bubbles, The idea that Daveman's brain could mutate should give us all pause to reflect. What if...what if...What if he turns normal or something? |

You caver you!!
Okay, I have a cell phone too - but JUST for emergencies. It's a similar pay-as-you-go as Tracfone, but it's Cingular which kinda sucks, but it was a good deal when they were still AT&T.
We're all going to the devil, I tellya! |

ive had a TracFone for years - im not microwaved yet ;)
i buy the yearly service that keeps you from having to continue to buy airtime cards - i only use my phone for emergencies too - i keep 500 units that continue to roll over year after year & only pay $79 per year for that other service of theirs - that works out to $6.59 per month - not bad when you compare it to other cellphone monthly services :)
mine is the second oldest Nokia phone TracFone ever had - mine still works just fine with no bells and whistles ;) |
