I own one, only because I don't have a house phone in my apartment. Its pretty cheap too, and the prices only keep getting lower and lower. They are well worth it, IMHO.
I got one because i have a job in which i need one... holler for construction!! i work with hardcore mexicans. im only 15 and i build shit... im such a sweetness.
I own a cellphone. I got it for privacy and for convenience for calling people when I'm away from home (most of the time). I can also read Zelaron on it...
I own a work provided one. Nothing special, but i's free. My g/f (we live together) has one. We used to have crappy cars, so I said she needed one if hers broke down. Now we have nicer cars, and I'm still paying fr it.. HMmmmm...
I used to have one, just because trying to use the phone at my old house was a nightmare. Now, my new apartment has all utilities, cable and a phone for about $160 a month. That includes rent. And it's actually a fairly nice place. You can hate me now.
I am going to get a Nextel most likely cus i get rides to a whole bunch of places and when they dont come .... they have no way to get a hold of me so i am fucked.. And cus im movin up a lil in the socializing catagory
