It's also my only phone. We happen to like the convenience of taking
our phones with us - and contrary to what Dave seems to think, neither
one of us has a phone glued to our ear. My plan is monthly because I
want the data, hubby's is $75 a year. Even paying for two cell
separate phone lines, we are save substantially over what we used to
pay for one landlocked landline. Sorry you don't have cell phone
reception, but I do and I like my cell phone. The bottom line is you
don't have one because you don't have decent reception at your house.
