You make an excellent point, and I did recognize the simplicity of the options. Unfortunately, I was working in the limitations of an ezBoard poll, where you get a maximum of 5 choices (yuck). The other questions were to spurn discussion below. I also know how little interest the polls have garnered so far so I didn't want to make a project out of it. That said, I totally agree with what you said.

Audrey, as of tomorrow, I'll have a Sprint cellphone. Bizarre as it sounds, my best friend couldn't take it anymore and added me to his plan. For less than the price of a monthly $20 bill I'll have a phone when I'm out and about.

So I'm entrenched into the mobile phone mindset. I have foolishly driven while talking on it, and I've made plenty of unnecessary calls from it, but I have maintained some of my manners. I don't talk while I'm checking out at the grocery, I don't speak loudly as if the world needs to know what I'm talking about, and most importantly, I don't interrupt a conversation with a person in my presence by taking a call unless I sincerely clear it with that person.

This month I'm most likely going to take the dive and sign up for my own plan. Not positive which carrier I'll use but Sprint has been good to me. I have a need for a family plan, so I'll be looking for deals in the next few weeks.

Thanks for the thoughts. I went to the Sprint store yesterday with my friend whose account I ride. I found out a) I can receive text messages for a very reasonable fee so I can drop my work pager, and b) if I want to cancel before his 18-month plan ends I have to pay $150. Makes sense, like most cancellation penalties, but I haven't decided the proper etiquette with my friend. I'd like to get a plan with Pin (her's just ended and she's temporarily without a mobile) and the only reason I am on my buddy's plan is because he was frustrated that I didn't have a cell phone and signed me up. He gave me a super deal so I might stay on it and not even join with Pin, but then I'd find myself alone in the woods in a year and a half while Pin's in the middle of her own plan.

So should I bite the bullet and just pay the $150? Is it my responsibility? I never asked for a phone or even implied that I wanted one. However, I've really enjoyed it and he's charging me probably half of what it would cost for me to have my own singular plan.
