As one that loves technology and gadgets, the idea of a Cell phone is something I thought I couldn’t live without. Yet I find that for the cost of one and limited connectivity, I can hire someone even part time to answer a good old landline, and relay whatever it is I need to take care of through my good old VHF communications system. That’s right a dispatcher. I have dabbled with all carriers. Most are merging and if you think your getting a great deal, wait until you get the bill. If you roamed from one carriers tower to another although many carriers say its free, it ain’t. Then if you text, it’ll cost you at minimum of ten cents per text. And the web? Shit that’s what my computer is for ain’t it? With many states outlawing texting and even cell phone use while mobile, only Idaho is holding out on that, bet it makes it through the next Idaho legislature session. A.T.&.T. announced recently that they are getting rid of unlimited texting at low prices. The fact that A.T.&.T. is the first horse out of the barn, does not mean they are not going to be followed by the rest of the major and even minor cell carriers. With many states proclaiming that texting causes accidents, you can bet these flim flam attorneys ya’ll see on late night and syndicated TV networks are lining up to sue cell companies when an accident or wreck occurs while someone is texting. There are those who will say, why sue the cell companies when it was some teen, or other idiot behind the wheel that caused the accident? Just like a bar owner can be sued for serving some stupid one too many drinks for that person to drive home and has a wreck due to being too drunk to drive. Granted its the stupid drunks fault, but the drunks don’t have deep pockets. Most see bar owners with cash mints in their offices. Or the fact that McDonalds got sued several years ago, for serving some gal hot coffee, she spilled the 100 mile sea in her lap, got scalded and sued. Of course , hot coffee is going to be hot, but that does not stop some people nor hungry attorneys. The Cell companies are just trying to side step the possibility, and thus reduce their foot print a bit in discouraging texting while driving. How, charge you more if you do. So can you really afford a cell phone? I say , only if you really, really need it. In my case, I’ll just hire a hot honey for part time money to answer the landline and getting in touch with me via Motorola.
