We've had one for maybe 8-10 years. The only time that it's used is if our landline is out (like today) or when we are traveling, i.e., emergency use. In those years, probably no more then 25 hours total use. We never do texting, never check the internet on that itty bitty screen (I'm also too cheap). The plan that we have now is a "seniors" plan, 200 minutes/month and nationwide for about $30 + tax plus the phone has a camera (whoopee).

Back to Uncle Bob's comment - you forgot one extremely important word in today's world, ENTITLEMENT. I'm not going political, but there are certain factions in the US fabric of today that feel that they are due, and if someone else has to pay for it, tough, not my problem
Same down here..Illegal to use a hand held(but everyone still does),,but okay for bluetooth or a regular hands free kit,,which in my opinion is no better/different to holding the darn thing..Your attention is still taken away from your driving..
