hi stumpywell the little bloke and i both have mobile phones this is mainly for security reasons so that when we are out at the shops if we become sepperated we can find one another. dont drive so dont talk while driving but down under you can get a driving fine and points taken off your licence for talking while driving using a hand held phone.
we use the phones also while we are travelling as there are great distances between some of the towns and if you break down between towns you have to be able to get help (they dont have phone boxes out in the bush hidden behind trees :lol: ).
we have prepaid phones so we can only use what we have paid for and when it runs out we have ro buy a recharge card with children i think this is the best way to go
cheers smokey

I can understand wanting mobile phones in the situations you describe, Smokey. What really irritates me, though, are people casually blabbing on the phones to their friends while in the grocery store or other markets. Or while driving in heavy traffic. Because you'll never convince me that people are capable of talking on a phone and paying close attention to the road while driving. IMO, that's dangerous. Not only to themselves but to others.

As one of the last of the dinosaurs, I hate cell phones. :lol: I don't even like talking on landline telephones that much.
Everywhere you go, you see people with those things growing out of their ears. It especially ticks me off to see so many drivers on cell phones. IMO, you just cannot pay full attention to the road if you're talking on a cell phone. I wish every state would pass laws forbidding talking on cell phones while driving.
