Totally not something you need. We watch too much TV anyhow.An Apel a Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409392467947270395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734199994073661223.post-7783276847086196742010-08-08T21:29:58.922-04:002010-08-08T21:29:58.922-04:00I don't like cell phones for the same reasons....I don't like cell phones for the same reasons. They're like expensive GPS tags. :) We have cell phones, but they're prepaid. It's much more reasonable than paying for a monthly plan for phones we rarely use. Besides, we once had a phone company that charged us close to $1,000 for odd things they did to our plan, then we got the run around when we tried to get the charges taken off... no thank you!Brie Wallacehttp://blog.naturalfrugality.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734199994073661223.post-3841588630925278682010-08-07T14:14:46.439-04:002010-08-07T14:14:46.439-04:00We're getting rid of our cellphone too!

For one thing the reception is terrible, even though we're with a big company and live in a big city, and for another we don't really use it that much. <br /> And it costs a ridiculous amount each month!<br /> We're going to try Magicjack, which works through the internet but connects to a traditional phone, and costs hardly anything. Here's hoping it will work efficiently and save us a lot of $$$!HannahAchrissmilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17003043779630833014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734199994073661223.post-29240484683870428752010-08-06T16:58:08.891-04:002010-08-06T16:58:08.891-04:00I have to carry my cell with me because of our inv...I have to carry my cell with me because of our involvement at church, BUT, I do have a time that the phone is off.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707041643658095133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734199994073661223.post-24953027407583259822010-08-06T14:51:09.756-04:002010-08-06T14:51:09.756-04:00Good point!

I did, however, change my plan to the absolute minimum so I wont be tempted to call so much :)MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07222590953178799156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734199994073661223.post-74559683408976098852010-08-06T11:40:43.596-04:002010-08-06T11:40:43.596-04:00Hi!
