New?

Friends,
with Ephotozine on offer, who needs facebook and all that other nonsense?
Gee whizz, I can't even text! What's the point? Isn't that what email is for?
As someone who for years, had a terrible speech impediment, I still can't get used to seeing almost everyone going around with a mobile stuck to their ear? What kind of life is that? I've got a mobile that is permanently turned off; I usually switch it on when 'I' need to use it! My daughter always tells me off, when I go town and I can't be contacted. Silence is indeed golden my friends!

Like my mother. Phones you up, Leaves a message on your voice mail "I'm in John Lewis and I have just seen one of those XYZs you wanted. Do you want me to get you one?". You phone her back 5 seconds later and the phone is switched off...marvellous.
I never understand the whole switching it off thing. Is it too difficult just not to answer it if you don't want to? Is it to complex to switch it to silent?

I'm with Frank on this issue. I guess its an age thing? My wife and I both have mobile phones and neither are switched on unless we need to make a call. they are there for emergencies only. But we were both born in the days when many homes didn't even have a phone which is why we probably don't feel the need for instant (but often pointless) communication with all and sundry

Mind you - our kids can't understand us as their entire lives appear to be contained within and dominated by those "talking brooches" and the Grand-children think we came out of the ark!

Just hope its not an emergency and someone is trying to contact you

I go pretty much everywhere by car and, these days, I would never want to be without a mobile phone: getting stuck in the car in rising floodwater a few years back has left its mark on me. Lol! 
I've just taken delivery of a 'smartphone'. I only bought it for the (apparently) decent stills/video camera on it - saves taking two devices around with me (mobile + compact). But I suspect I will never use 95% of this new phone's facilities.
