No they are not. Stupid cell phone companies all have their own phones and will not work with other providers.\n\nThey suck that way.

Personally I detest it. However, I find it a necessary evil since my husband and I own our own electrical company that offers 24 hour service. We get a lot of calls on our cell phones at night since we have our land line forwarded to our cells when we are not at the office. However, we always put our phones on silent/vibrate when we are in a public place. That way we don't disturb anyone around us.

Ppl today have let cell phones become a crutch. We get so used to finding ways to need them, that we become dependent on them in order to function. It's because we've let it take the place of important functions in our lives, such as keeping in touch w/friends & family, when we'd normally, otherwise, work in other ways to not let it take over those important functions, that we grow dependent upon them.\n\nIt's gotten so bad to the point that there's now been a new form of an anxiety disorder that has been developed & recognised, known as Ring-anxiety. It's where we think we hear our phones going off all the time, or develope anxiety over missing a call/text msg & so feel the need to keep checking our phones.\n\nIn today's society we live a much more faster paced life style & because of it, many things that traditionally didn't get the shrug, have now been pushed to the back burner in order to keep up. Such things as face time w/friends & family, keeping in touch w/them, managing our finances, etc. Ppl have learned to incorporate using cell phones into their hectic lives to the point of needing them. \n\nAlso, when we have cell phones, we develope routines w/them. I know that when mine isn't working or I forget to bring it w/me, I find things that I wish I could do that I got used to being able to do when I have my cell w/me, that in the past, I never thought of & could do prefectly fine w/out. For example, when I have to wait in line for something, I usually give my mom a quick call, or on my breaks I call my husband. Thus, this all goes back to my mentioning how we live in a much more fast paced society today & things like keeping in touch have taken a back burner & we neglect to find other ways to work face time & keeping in touch in because we've learned to fall back on our crutch- the cell phone.\n\nBasically, if we didn't have our cell phones, we'd usually find other ways to work around our busy schedules to fill those needs or functions that we've given over to our phones.

It is so easy to ridicule someone because they are overweight, but just because someone is overweight does not mean they are a big spender.\n\nAs for the cell phone, Newt Gingrich had said one of the reasons people remain poor is because they are not embracing new technology. A cell phone is becoming a necessity as our lives become more complicated, or in the case of the poor more dangerous. A cell phone is not just used by drug dealers and addicts, it is used to call the police when you are being chased by a dealer or addict.

I wud always prefer my phone over the net coz telephonic converstions r more personal, live n active . Moreover, gossips n scoops can b passed over in a much effective way during  a tel con rather than by typing out the buzz.

I use hearing aids whenever i feel like suffering and wearing them. Don't like them. I have a VCO phone which I don't use either b/c it's annoying and lame. Has anything greater been invented for me yet, no. I think it would awesome to have a hand held thing that translates any sounds around me into words as if it's a movie, for me. I think there's one invented...dunno...probalby not cheap... and probably not that great yet either.

I'm one of those wacky people who doesn't have a cellphone. I don't think I know anyone else personally that doesn't have one. I just never found that I needed one.

They think it means they can use it during school.  They are a total distraction and there is really no use for them outside of taking them on an extra-curricular event.  There should never be phones in class, and the constant use outside of class takes away from studying.  It's unfortunate but it wont end as long as parents buy them for their 12 y/o kid.

Models just keep on comming. Back-to-school is maybe one particular occasion, but anytime people are prone to more spending you will probably get another wave of new cellphones in the market. Ie: Christmass, Valentines, Easter, Mothers day, Fathers Day, Back to School, Holoween, etc etc etc

Many girls are chatty and addicted to chatting on their cellphones, I suppose.\n\nEven worse is when they do it when they're driving - and in those big SUVs!\nSome should not have cellphones.

I can see a day when broadband companies simply decide to cut off the access to the Vonage-type providers by port blocking or other means---And court battles about it.  Even if that doesn't happen, I think it would take a long long time for anything to impact the old Ma-Bell phone companies signifigantly.  Cell phones?  I've never seen an internet phone product that would compete with wireless phones.

This has to do more with advertising than technology.  When talking about cell phones, one company calls themself a wireless carrier, another says mobile network operator or cellular operator.

Mobile what? Phones I assume? Yes, they are WONDERFUL. I'm always in touch. Sometimes, I call my husband when he's in another part of our house. LOL. Sad but true...
