I don't own a cell phone. And I work for one of the major phone companies.

I own a cell phone but it’s nothing more an a pocket alarm clock. No-one to call, no-one to get calls from! A few months back there was a big explosion at my office, everyone’s cell phones were going off with calls from their family and friends to check if they were ok but mine was deathly silent.
That sucked.
gnome3 said:Yeah, I one, and must have 60 people on it; 40 or so who are acquaintances, 5 maybe who are legit bonified friends, and a handful or so of family members. Does anyone call me? Hardly.
If I were to not call anyone, I may get one or 2 calls on any given week. One thing I did notice was that I was making lots of calls to people, and no one was calling me. I noticed this a few years back. I started thinking of the old saying, "The phone works both ways", and so I quit phoning anyone who never phoned me. Hence, I don't speak to many people on the phone any more.
Yes, Facebook is very similar, and my participation (in a FB friend's discussion) is quite contingent on how much they interact with me on FB. You know, it doesn't get any better if I give them the same treatment that they give me, however. They never start phoning me or commenting on my posts if I "school" them by not interacting w/them, but that's ok with me. It's the principle of the thing. I may never hear from them, but they won't hear from me, either.I've found that out. I sent text messages to people and most of the time they answer but it is always me making the effort. Similar to facebook messages. At the moment I am not sending messages to people. I am waiting for them to get in touch with me. They haven't much so far !
