{raises hand} We are also among those that lag behind phone technology. We only started texting last year because it was cheaper for our DD to text from Europe than to call. And we were among the last folks we knew to get a cell phone in the first place. Still haven't felt the need for data connection 24/7.

iPhone ;) Unless you think you may need to talk and use the internet at the same time, then AT&T and iPhone ;)

Mine is supplied by work, although I won't say I don't enjoy using it :)

I don't feel like *I* need it, but works says I do. So I have an iPhone (I have worked using the ssh client on my 3G iPhone in the past). I also have a Verizon MiFi. I've also had my wife driving down the highway while I was working on my laptop using a power inverter and my old AT&T 3G card. Good times...

You're not alone. I just got a texting phone last November and hubby got one in May. I got mine because my best friend chooses to text me rather than call (I'm old fashioned....I'll take the call) and hubby had to get one cause all the baseball parents wanted to be texted instead of emailed.

So, I'm with you. Although....I may add on the data for when we go to Disney and I can update my FB page where we are throughout the day (for those friends that are living vicariously through us).

Let's not start that conversation again. :p:


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Wow! Guess I'm cool and didn't even know it.

Unfortunately, my Razr also gets text spam, and it costs me 10 cents for each one. Wish I could turn that off.
