I would have to get a land line, but yeah, I could.

I can't stand people who are connected (addicted) 24/7 to their phones. Amazing how people lived without them for so many years.

I recently spent a couple of days with a sibling and she seemed to have that phone on her 24/7 and used it at LEAST 4 or five times an hour to send texts. I don't know who she was texting so much seeing as she is retired. What really pissed me off was she would comment to us about the texts she received as if we 1) Cared and 2) Knew the context.

I was glad to see her leave.

I only have a "Dumb Phone" (it is a cell phone, that is all, just a telephone).
For 100 grand, I would gladly smash the thing , tell Verizon to "fuggedaboutit", and have the landline re-installed, with a good answering machine.

No way I make money with my smartphone. I am on the phone all the time and it has to work. My device is not a toy.

You would be surprised at what my phone does for me and clients. It monitors trade positions and when alarms go off I am notified immediately. We have custom apps. My big clients get my cell phone # and if they call late at night I answer. Thankfully they usually text me instead.

I make a lot of $$$ with my phone. They can keep their 100k

I wouldn't want to give mine up, for the "chance" of winning money.

Any more than I want to give up my hair dryer or kitchen knives or washing machine. My tools.

But then, I'm not addicted and sometimes realize hey where is my phone? Oh, I didn't get it out of my car 6 hours ago.

It’s not even a guarantee win. The winner is selected on who does it best! I would do it in a second for $100K , if it was guaranteed.

I agree. I want a guarantee I would win if I gave it up. How can they determine who gave it up best? That doesn't make sense to me.
