Ärende: Cellphone woes
======================
Replying to a message of David Drummond to Bob Ackley:

The transfers are *possible*, they just don't do them - and it would appear
that
the service is unlimited anyway so it wouldn't be necessary, you're not buying
minutes of usage.

Addicted to the things?  Some people here just can't stop using them.

Back when I was working some ditzy broad ran a red light and collided with a
co-worker's car - she was jabbering on her cell phone, and kept right on
jabbering
*after* the collision.  Some states have passed laws against 'texting' while
driving -
some idiot drivers were paying more attention to their cell phone screens than
they
were to their driving - and caused accidents.  Apparently 'texting' while
driving has
become a significant problem here.

FWIW, Tracfone is a prepaid system, it costs US$20 for 60 minutes/60 days.  My
days always expire before the minutes do because I hardly ever use the thing. 
I don't
have a pathologic need to be connected with everybody else on the planet.

When I had a permanent cell phone, that thing cost about US$60/month -
switching
to the prepaid Tracfone to save US$50/month was a no-brainer.  The permanent
cell
phone people used to charge for "roaming" (you're travelling someplace and
aren't in
your local area) and for long distance; competition from prepaid cell companies
pretty
much eliminated the separate 'long distance' charges, dunno about roaming.

My landlines (I have two, one for people, one for computers) cost just about
$57/month - each.  The only calls I get on the 'people' line are from
telemarketers
and robocallers, rarely do they get in more than three words before I've hung
up; they
probably call the computer line too, but the computer is more tolerant than I
am about
that sort of thing <g>.
