Default i haven't had a cell phone for about 5 months.

had a smart phone until my contract ran out and i didn't want to pay 70 bucks a month just for unlimited data.

the quality of my life hasn't changed much at all. although it was the perfect little companion for when i was hanging out by myself in public, and being without one was awkward at first. but nowadays i like to picture myself in the bygone era of the early 2000's that predates the ubiquity of cell phones, and imagine what i would have done then. so i end up just looking around, thinking about things i read recently. i have a notepad for things i need to google later.

i just have a house phone now and i find i return calls way more often, and i'm not stressed out about people who nag me for not immediately answering their texts or picking up the phone. and i have more cash at the end of every month.

it's pretty nice.

is a landline any cheaper than the cheapest wireless plans?

and if you don't use a phone very often a pay as you go phone would probably work for cheap too.

but i guess the point is that you don't like having one. so uh. nevermind.

I haven't had one in exactly two years.

I had one, but somehow I locked it, and forgot about it, it's long dead now.

i have a cell phone of which some buttons usually don't work. Which means that I can only receive calls and text back to someone that has already texted me
