T and I don't use ours much at all (we both have the archaic flip top type), but pay a small fortune for tons of minutes that mostly go unused. <br /><br />I'd love to have an iPhone, but at this time, I don't want to commit to the costs. And I also fear that the ability to be connected all the time wouldn't really be a good thing for me. But maybe someday I'll splurge. I'll just have to set strict parameters to keep myself from going Internet crazy! :o)Renaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318311170413043717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-41257253974025341722011-08-01T10:48:30.531-05:002011-08-01T10:48:30.531-05:00Oh Mandy!

(I really needed that- thanks!)<br /><br />I think that Andrea perfectly captured my reaction to thinking the grey phone was yours. Very smart, now we're all very impressed with how fancy your phone is! ;)<br /><br />I have a very basic phone too. It is almost time for me to upgrade and I'm considering getting a nice phone, but I have a hard time accepting the idea. We'll have to wait and see.<br /><br />Love your 'drug dealer' phone!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289616843275308342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-47560202185237706742011-08-01T07:07:10.405-05:002011-08-01T07:07:10.405-05:00hey there! just catching up on blog reading ....

But if it fits you, and your happy, then so be it. <br /><br />We pay $10 for a landline. We don't own a phone. It's solely for the DSL, which we pay $50 a month for. Add to that **GASP** $170 for a family plan with unlimited data for both lines. I kinda want to vomit now! Add taxes and surcharges and we spend $250 total for house, cell, and internet.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336283103973967252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-17642627704854924442011-07-31T20:53:00.294-05:002011-07-31T20:53:00.294-05:00ha!

I'm not home that often and I rarely have time to talk on the phone so texting and messaging is what gets me by. Plus I like having a camera always at hand and fun things to do to kill time when I'm waiting or bored and don't have a book with me :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04144518378020653282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-72900395366820496202011-07-31T19:32:46.311-05:002011-07-31T19:32:46.311-05:00hahahahah! i'm glad you posted that it was a ...hahahahah! i'm glad you posted that it was a typo. i was wondering why your phone looked like a toy and your kids looked so much fancier. lol. <br /><br />who needs fancy phones? all it means is that i read my emails instantly and check fb like 10 times a day. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-21476199794139415552011-07-31T19:13:29.665-05:002011-07-31T19:13:29.665-05:00NOTE: My phone is actually on the right, and the g...NOTE: My phone is actually on the right, and the girls' is on the left. (It's not actually a "large print"-type phone, Andrea! HA!) I mistyped that, and I didn't realize it until I'd published the post. I'm having a crazy time with Blogger right now, and I can't edit a post [I don't think] without deleting it and re-publishing. Grrrr...<br /><br />So, on to the positive, I guess it's not quite as bad as it could be! :)MandyE (Twin Trials and Triumphs)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02510155408149227364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-53987959418480283832011-07-31T16:59:26.068-05:002011-07-31T16:59:26.068-05:00Ok, so I thought my phone was old!

Reminds me of a calculator for "older" folks! Ha!! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing!! I am totally jealous of your bill though. I really don't think mine is that bad until I hear something like that. Ha! I pay $102 for mine and hubby. Hubby hasn't made the the change yet. He is wanting to the next go around, so it will go up another $30. That for some reason sounds really bad to me, 132?!?! Too much! Maybe I can hold him off for a while!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08562200198861463651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-34224305505485052842011-07-31T13:55:46.882-05:002011-07-31T13:55:46.882-05:00PS shall I send you my (6-week old) phone that I d...PS shall I send you my (6-week old) phone that I don't use? will it work there?<br /><br />I know the charger would be different but the rest?

You definitely win!...Thanks for linking up, Mandy!<br /><br />You definitely win! And I love that we're on the same wavelength with this stuff.<br /><br />I pay R120 - R180 for my cell phone ($17 - $25) every month. Let's just say, I budget the upper limit and if it comes close, I freak out a little. My debit order's just gone off for end July and this month R120 :) Mission accomplished.<br /><br />I have friends who pay R1000 and more a month..... no thanks, I have a savings account to fill up :)Marcia (123 blog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15581613927187600748noreply@blogger.com
