I wouldn't mind having a portable phone that did nothing but make phone calls. I don't need to take pictures, go on the Internet, text, take videos, do my taxes, have global positioning or any of that crap on it. Just give me a phone that I can make an actual phone call on without having to be a computer genius. 
That is the type of phone I have other than it can take pictures. Its a basic phone (LG) and doesn't connect to internet; play music, or a GPS. That would be the Apple phones. Funny thing is my friends were teasing and laughing at me about how old my phone was but stopped laughing when I asked how many of them can actually pay their bills off when they are paying for such an expensive phone. Same here. They also stop laughing when theirs break every other month, can't get a good signal or anything else while I've only had a problem getting a signal ONCE (and only in about a 100 yard radius in a place in the middle of nowhere that NOBODY can get a signal). Then on any given day my phone gets dropped onto concrete 20 times, dropped into water once, run over with a creeper 10 times, hit with a hammer 10 times, and so on. After 5 years all I've had to do is replace the battery once (for a whopping $3!). Wow, that is quite the tough phone. Yep; my friends constantly hav problems with their phones too. I was a conference in the middle of the mountains in early October and everyone that had either an I-phone or a Blackberry could not get a signal and suprisingly my phone did. That convinced me to hang on to what I have. |

I need a landline for faxing. :( Do you need a landline for internet at home? Im thinking of dropping it since I dont need to fax as much these days, but I was thinking my internet requires landlines. I am completely wireless and remote. love it Im wireless as far as my router allows. Is there an internet service that doesnt require a router with a landline? Yes. DSL. But, cable is often faster and does not require a landline. |

I have an iPhone and I love it. I text more than I talk on the phone. I use it to check email, surf the internet, GPS and games. I do understand that people don't like texting and talking on the phone during dates and things like that, which is completely understandable, but just because some people are rude, it doesn't mean cell phones are evil.  but its pity that you cant use this site with your Iphone properly.
I have no problem using this site with my iphone, other than not being able to upload pictures. So yeah, it would be nice if they would eventually fix that part. |

Kids are not too bright. They love their cell phones even if they know big brother is tracking them.

Sure, it's scratched to hell and has dents (the front case is METAL!) and the letters are worn off of the keys from LOTS of texting, but still works like the day I got it. Then because it's a flip-phone (no ***-dialing or big exposed screen to get busted is a bonus!) the (METAL) hinge side is heaviest, so safely falls onto that.  So take THAT all you CrackBerry users with all your fancy apps that are useless after you breathe on you cell the wrong way and it breaks into pieces....

Lets have this conversation in 10 years when there are no landlines. then I will have a mobile phone Can I call you guys? Yep 
Can manO and I move in with you guys? Yep.Hurry up.
My bags are packed but I can't find manO. klc, I use Clear for my internet. I take it on trips with me. For my phone I use Cricket unlimited pre-pay. I skype for conferences, and have magic jack for my 800 number. I also use HDTV (free TV). You can operate very reasonable these days. |

My bags are packed but I can't find manO. Well find him, jump on a plane and come out to the aussie bush,leave the mobile at home, it doesnt work anywhere but in the main town then you have thousands of miles of nothing..No wireless, Nothing.. Oh I think you can get satelite but not many have it. Normally only emergency services |

I'm pretty sure I get my internet through my landline (DSL). So I don't think that's going anywhere. That's why I only have a landline, it's alreay in my house!

I may be in the dark ages where it comes to cell phones. I don't have one. The first time I saw one in a movie, only rich drug king pins could afford such things. I wanted one in the worst way. Now I cringe when I see trailer park welfare mom's in swets not only have them, all of her children also have them. 
Everyone thinks they have to have a cell phone.
And mom's have to have their children have them so they can keep track of their children at all times. Even children without cell phones that are way too young for them have play cell phones just to prepare them for the real thing. Just shoot me I'm old.
Even though I have a cell phone I totally agree with you.  We are all barking mad.

My cable provider requires landline, but service is possible without it because my Iphone works fine. I just cant find a regular provider for my laptop without landline....yet. Im sorta new to these parts so I will look up this 'Clear' you mention sir mg. Your iPhone doesn't require the same thing that you'll need from your laptop. Talk to Time Warner and ask them for options other than DSL. |
