My service is like Biscuit's up there. It's good because I don't get punished when I don't pay, the service just goes away. I also have unlimited texting, nights/weekends, and mobile to mobile (as long as you're using the same company). However, the primary reason I had for it to be on has gone away, so I think once the money runs out I'm not going to bother paying anymore. I secretly despise cell phones, always have.

Mobiles are good for when you need to make a call to someone and there are no pay phones around, or when you want to quickly ask a question via a short message. When people are checking their texts compulsively every five minutes, they're rubbish.

iPhones in the UK are stuck on O2, who place stupid restrictions on usage such as how the minimum top up is £10 at a time. What if I only need £5? But no, I can't do that.

As soon as O2's strangehold loosens, I'm getting Orange.

You know when you get the feeling that you’re the only one of something?

I get that feeling when I see that I'm the only teenager in the world who doesn’t have a Mobile phone :lol:

Yes, I *^%* you not. I do not have a Mobile phone, and out of choice (And lack of need) no less!

If it makes you feel any better I never got one until I had to, and that was just a few months ago. I'm 25, so.. I never had one when I was a teen.

Yes, but mobile phones weren't as big in the 90's as they are now. So that doesn’t really count, old timer :P

I have a prepaid T-Mobile, which my friends make fun of due to its distinctively egg-shaped nature. I don't use it that often, I'll get into the occasional text conversation with it, but then I'll go three days without touching it, except for parental communication.

I always carry my cell with me. I use it for texting/calling (duh), but also as a watch and music player. :)

Magic.

No, I asked them nicely, and they lifted it for me. I wasn't going to pay 55 quid a month for it!

Very nice.
I actually do most of my posting on here via my iPod Touch, which I bought last January. I have never regretted it for a second.

im thinking of getting the samsung solstice since it has a full touch screen

full internet, and lots of cool apps

its still classified as a dumb phone though so the data plan is only $10 a month as oposed to the $30 for the iphone

i might have been swayed from the Iphone... dont get me wrong though i love all apple products its jsut my budget is small :(
