Off my soapbox now.
I have one but I keep it turned off most of the time, until I want to make a call.

People look at me in shock when they ask for my cell phone number and I tell them flat out "No. You can't have it."

Oh, the horror! Someone isn't instantly available any time they feel the need to chat.

Worst one I ever saw- northbound Rt. 1 coming out of Boston, I was doing 70 in the left lane. A BMW passed me on the right, he had a newspaper spread over the steering wheel, cell phone headset in his ear, cup of coffee in his left hand and running a battery-operated shaver over his face with his right hand.

Yep, those are scary drivers to be on the road with! I try to use my earpiece or speaker phone in the car. And I am notorious for applying lipstick and mascara while in the car, but I try to keep it to redlight stops!

Hi the best carrier to go with is Verizon they will hook you up with belfast and then you can text for 20c. I had the same problem and just got mine set up the other day. In Northern Ireland they only have four cell phone carriers Verizon is able to operate with all of them.
