Cell phone time

[Cheyenne]

Did you ever think you'd be able to use all the "free" night and weekend minutes in your cell phone plan? I know I didn't!

Between my "anytime" minutes and my "night and weekend" minutes, I have 4,700 minutes to talk on the phone each month. That's about 2 1/2 hours each day.

I talk to 2 people daily, one about every other day, and miscellaneous others here and there (like family members.) I think I could average 4 or 5 hours a day on the phone, easily, if I don't watch it. Damn that hands free technology!

Where I live, cell phones dont get any signal. Its magical!

i've never had a cell phone (and i doubt i ever will), but i could totally use up that amount of time.

My cottage is dead air. Black hole.

1/2 a tv channel.

Just trees, nature, water.

With an international airport an hour and a half by car down twisty two lane blacktop.

Heaven is a place with no telecom.

Don't tell me, you're that dude that owns the diner on "Gilmore Girls."

How rustic and shit. Does your computah have two little cranks on the side? One for electricity and the other for butter?

I used to work for a cell phone company. Never thought I'd get as hooked on it as I am today. But I AM! lol

I tend to use my cell alot these days as a contact #. Helps when I'm online looking/posting for a job. And most especially as a way for my kids to ck in with me. They can reach me no matter where I am and I always know where they are (caller id and the likes).

Marx,

I dont know what Gilmore Girls is but yeah I own a diner and shit. We serve moose burgers.

Watching people lose control 'cause their cell phone wont work is a pleasure that never loses its delight.

"My cell phone wont work."

"Yeah, they dont work here"

"My cell wont work. I cant get a signal"

"Yeah, I know"

Panic strikes.

"My cell phone wont work........"

All I can say is free nights and weekends, and free long distance rocks.

hehe... by any chance did a recent visitor have that exact reaction???

I haven't found a place yet where my cell doesn't work. Even in other parts of the country where fellow workers can't get their phones to work at all, mine usually does.

I'm a Cingular Nationwide plan customer. Another good thing about Cingular is that their billing system is so fucked up that I owe them a little less than $500 that they have not yet billed to me and probably never will! I've tried calling many times to tell them they forget to bill me, or they give me CREDITS instead that aren't mine! They always tell me my account has a zero balance and I shouldn't worry about it.

He bought it from Mr. Haney - it only cost him a goat.

I've had my mobile for almost 2 years, I use it for personal and business use, as well as SMS and email. I've just checked the call timer and I've spent 25 hrs 58 mins & 13 secs in calls.

Amen, Soblue.

Same here. I've never, ever once gone over my limit.

It won't solve your telecom problems (unless you have a lot of money), but there are always satellites. I access the internet via satellite, and I get all my TV the same way. Fortunately I do have cell coverage, but just barely (no static, but it drops out sometimes).

26 hours in 2 years? Yeah, but how many hours on calling cards to the U.S.?

 

[lickerish]

Working for a mobile phone company, I had 2000 minutes/ mo for $10.. not once did I ever go over. I used to use SMS like a mofo when I was talking to Chef on AIM, I outgrew that phase... but I could type on a cell phone keypad like a geek on speed.

Wow.

Two Scenarios:
1. The tumor that will grow on your brain will have telephatic/telekinetic abilities.
2. You will die due to to death.

Don't we all die due to death?

Hmm.

[Cheyenne]

Lol, I know what you mean. I have the same problem! By the last week of the plan I'm looking up how many minutes I have to make sure I don't go over...

Finally, someone who understands!

I had to increase my minutes - I ran over a few months ago and the extra charges were outrageous. Its weekday times that kill me though - I've got more evening and weekends then I think I could possibly ever use. It was cool when I was out on the left coast though - with the time difference I got to use at lease some more of those evening minutes. (Since the minutes are based on the time zone that your cell phone # is initiated in.)

I don't have that much time and usually end up over a tiny amount. It all depends on who I have to call and what subjects I NEED to discuss!
