I have one, I call my "tether." It's always on me but rarely used. I've made it clear it's for emergencies (i.e., the bleeding won't stop, he/she is not breathing or the house is on fire and I can't put it out), hooking up with someone I'm actually meeting with (are you on your way or did you forget, dear friend of mine?) and business (okay I'm at the busy mart on main street but I don't see the walking trail y'all said to turn left at what do I do?) only.
Anyone else calls for any reason, I either don't answer or let them know this is not the sort of phone you see people talking on all the time just because, particularly not when I'm driving.
I turn it off during my shows and when I'm home. When I'm home they can damned well call my home phone which doesn't cost me any minutes. Fuckers. Then I'll decide if I want to talk to them.
God knows I love the answering machine and caller id. If it's not important enough for them to leave a message it's not important enough for me to talk to them at all. LOL. Also with difficult people I can mull over what they want and decide how I want to handle it before returning their calls, usually when I suspect I won't get them. *chuckles*
No I have NO phone issues at all!

I only got a cell phone a couple of months back. Here the caller pays the extra cost for the cell phone, so I don't pay anything for being called. Still I don't like talking on the cell phone, and at home people can please call my home phone for chatting or whatever.
It's great for last minute lunch meetings (I'll be at the refectory by one, will you come?) or saying that I'm late. I also like the sense of security it gives me that I can call someone if my car/bike breaks down or I fall and break my leg or such.

I know what you mean about the car breaking down. I have a cell phone and a cb just in case. (Some areas don't have cell phone coverage.)
I like to remember the phone is for MY convenience. It is not my master. I don't have to answer every call, no matter what I'm doing. I think people forget that sometimes. *L*

Ditto Furry.
It's for getting directions, making or rearranging plans, emergencies, or car touble (i also have a CB as backup, and sometimes enterntainment. A CB in traffic can be a lot of fun)
A lot of the time i perfer to text people so i don't actually have to hold a conversation with them.
