Don't want a cell phone.
Kids don't have them either and won't as long as they are under our roof unless they get a job that mandates having one.
Won't do "friend" things - lunch, projects, shopping - with those who have to be connected to everybody else on the planet 24/7. Yeah, I'm a major **** about it. Emergencies are one thing. Most calls & texts are NOT emergencies.
Hubby has one for work purposes only but they have to call the house phone if they need to reach him when he's off as there is frequently no signal out here in BFE!!!
Not only are we strictly land line, the kids have to talk to their friends on a corded phone in the kitchen. The cordless is for adults only. Cruel, aren't we? :giggles: It does keep them from tying up the line for hours with mindless babble, though. We haven't had a telemarketer call since the Indiana DNC list became available which was several years before the federal one.
My older brother went no cell in February due to a layoff which meant slashing wants vs needs out of his budget. Like smbka_1, he found it very liberating. He didn't realize how much time he wasted playing with his had-everything-but-a-kitchen-sink phone & how many pointless phone calls he participated in until he canceled his service. He & SIL have decided to remain a non-cell household.
