I don't have a cell phone -- yup, I'm THAT guy. The only one without a cellphone.
I plan on traveling during the holidays and I usually call in to my family whenever I go from one rest stop to another. I talk for an average of 5 minutes which is about $0.50 on my calling card which includes the cost of the phone surcharge. I do this once or twice a year and make about 4 rest stop calls along the trip so I'm out a couple bucks each way.
According to your logic, I should be "happy" to spend $100 for a phone for the year when I can get by just fine with $4.
When are people going to wake up to the fact that we are slowly being squeezed into bankruptcy due to all of these "got to have-its" including DSL, Cell phones, home phones, etc which all include taxes that are larger than the original cost of the plans.
Anyhow, it just shouldn't be that expensive to live on-the-cheap.
