    We have a home land line, I don't have time for ever changing technology and pricing, so a cell phone isn't an option or thought of as the latest toy.

    Your question reminds me of an incident at a local cafe where a boy and his date seemed to be texting each other, and reacting, when they were a table distance away from each other???

    I'm not a dinosaur by any means, and I realize keeping up matters to some, good for them. I'm very OK with face to face communication.

    Wow 23? I was about 13. I wasn't one of those bratty teen girls that was glued to my mobile, my parents got me one mainly for safety.

    I was about thirty. That was 17 years ago. I've only had three phones in that time ...... I've had this one for nineteen months ............ and only ONE number.

    I refuse to change my mobile number.
