We have 3 mobiles in the house ( 2 are used daily and one is recieve only for the kids to take with them when they go anywhere, so we can contact them to make sure all is ok)....as well as a landline....I need to be contactable

I use both text and calling on the mobile.....but then we dont get charged for recieving them....just for sending....and i like them as they are cheaper than making a call...'get milk' costs me less than making a call and asking for milk to be bought home *L*...mine also has a camera function....but i never use it....

I also have one for safety reasons...if i have a car break down i can get assistance (which works well let me say *LOL*)...much more preferable to lock myself in my car and use the mobile, than walk to a public pay phone that chances are isn't working anyway, in the dark at like 4:30am

....they are certainly not foolish toys....if you dont want them...fine dont have them....but please dont chuck off at those that do want or require them
