I am seriously considering not having a cellphone anymore. It was convenient when I lived on the farm and had a somewhat unreliable car, but now... I don't know. It barely gets any use and I have little to no interest in a fancy new phone.
Just keep a basic cell phone.
If nothing else, just for emergencies.
The main thing mine does is keep the pockets on either side of my jeans balanced. Also, you never know when you need to fake being busy.

Yeah, maybe. I considered this as well but at the moment, all the basic phones available to me are quite shit. I checked out the reviews for the ones I'm interested in and supposedly they are terrabad... I'm not sure if it's all true because, of course, when you're looking for reports of something bad online you find them and it's hard to judge how many good reports also exist. But most of the reports had some very similar issues that consistently popped up and that were pretty fatal to the use of the phone, so... we'll see. My mom has one of the phones I was interested in and we'll see how she likes it, although she barely uses it.
In the worst case I suppose I should listen to HeK and just keep using my current one. It's not bad, still in decent shape, and I could likely get a cheaper contract (yeah, right) with it.

Who cares if it's bad? I've got some shitty T-moble phone that is pay as you go. I put like... $25 in it every 2-3 months. The phone was about $30.Â
Very very useful to have in emergencies, or if you get lost, or have a question etc.
I don't use my phone all that much but it's useful to have on me

What use is a phone that doesn't work? I want it to be reliable. Not to have to shell out every time it breaks.

No, the $25 are minutes. I've had the $30 phone for like... 2-3 years now I think, so its reliable enough for me.
For me, $25 covers about 160 minutes of talking (10c per text/etc).
It's a shit deal if you use your phone a lot but for me who only uses it on occasion and sometimes for my job, that $25 covers about 2-3 months before I'll run out and need to refill (should I choose to, which I do).
