Well I was wondering if you guys have cellphones. If you do please put your age when you got it. (Argument with my mom)
Everyone in my school has cellphones, its not even funny...Kinda scary >.>
I think Im like the only person without one in my school......really. Last year I was the only one in my fourth per. class without one. I don\'t really want one, I could care less. Its just that I need one. I go out a lot so when I need a ride or somthing back home I need a cell. My mom thinks I just magicly get one from no where and call her. =/
Im kinda sick of having to borrow a cell from my friends every time I go out and It\'s pretty embarrasing.
Id also like to know how other areas are. Like France or somthing. Does every single person carry cellphones there too? Im seeing 10 year olds with cells already.
Thats LA for ya....

LOL 10 year old! Thats just wrong. I dont personnaly have a cellphone but most of the people in 9th grade (14-15 years old(my age) ) have a cellphone

I don\'t see an insane number of cell phones here.
-
I don\'t have a cellphone, and only know a few people that do.
Then again, I like in a town of under 3k people.

No, no, plenty of service.
I know quite a few people with cells, just most people (under 18s, at least) don\'t have a cell.

I got my cell when I was 12, started catching the bus so I had to.
My theory is, if you are going to spend the money yourself for your cell, and to pay fee\'s for calling, SMS etc, then it\'s your own purchase and thus you can have it. Same as when you buy a pizza :)

Why the hell do you want a cell phone in the first place? I think they are annoying and interrupt the classes with their gay little ringtones. The only thing I can find a cell phone useful for is emergancies when your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, but when is that going to happen? You really want to dish out 40-80 bucks a month for that? Or is the whole fashion statement and you are not cool or worth talking to unless you have a cell phone? I hate public schools.
The only reason I have one is because my mom bought it for me when I started going to college, and I only use it about once every two months. Waste of money.

Here in the Netherlands its a rarity when you don\'t have one.
My gf works for instance in a cellphoneshop in Amsterdam, and she got loads of parents buying cellphone (with monthly fees) for their 8 year olds...
Sometimes it\'s even more worse.... children starts whinning about the phone, because its not the latest model anymore.
I got one since 6 years now, and living alone on chambers, and being away often its more usefull then a normal phone.

same for the UK i dont think i know anyone without a mobile (cell) phone number. i got my first one at 15.... the one i have now is great... msn messenger video recorder can go on online ( no not wap actually internet useage....like here) mp3 player.... yep great phone :P
Efflixi Aduro, use the argument that when you go out she will be able to check on you. and also if you had/seen an car crash or something you can phone right away :P

Well, most people in Belgium have a cell phone.
It seems to be a craze with 14-15 year olds, really weird.
I\'m 17, got one for christmas, but I don\'t use it that much.
For some strange reason, a lot of people think you\'re stupid and against progress, if you don\'t have a cell phone 8o
-
Even in Romania almost everyone has a cell phone. I had my at around 13 y.o. ... I think, can\'t remember the age exactly though. But I see kids that don\'t have more than 9 - 10 years with cell phones. Funny ... and scary ...
You should really get one.
A tip? Well, Sony Ericsson is the best. It has the best software, the best cells, the best everything ^^
Here\'s a list of phones, reviews etc. :

gah i wouldent want a \"cell phone\" well we call them mobiles here. besides its cheaper to use public phones if you really have to call someone in an emergency which they only happen so often. so thats 40c phonebill for some.
but they obviously are necesary for some. not little wankers who need them to play snake and be \"cool\" little fags.
-
Yeh i got a cell phone...i think i got it when i was 11

I dont want a cell phone. You have to pay for a calling plan, plus rolloever minutes.. and not a lot of people @ my school have cell phones, so dont feel like your the only student without one.

Looks like the cellphone sickness is everywhere.
Sep. Iv actually been a witness to three car accidents before cuz they happend right next to me and my frinds while we where walking around.
Aftrer the second one I learned to keep my mouth shut and walk away though. Damn cops will keep u for hours before they let you free.
Ill use both though, I think my parants are buying me one though. They know I really need one. I once had to walk around downtown till I found a payphone to use. So, ya, they know I need one.
-
I live in sweden .. Its the most used cellphone country in the world.. Except Finland.. Every little cheeky child from the 3rd grade to the 9th is having mobile phones here..
-
Just another quick question. How much are you guys paying a month for you phones?
-
yea alot of people have crashes whilst talking on the phone. It is now illegal in australia and has been for a while to talk on the phone and drive at the same time. unless you have a hands free set i think ?
-
its the same here to in singapore it seems like everyone has a cell/hand phone, heck ! my whole family has one even my grand parents ... right now my phone is preety outdated but so long as its still working its fine, right ?
[edit] i pay around what 35-50 ? a month it? [/edit]
-
around ?20-?30 depends on how many people I ring.
-
I had my first cell phone around 18, and I pay about 30?/month
-
I got my Nokia 3210 when i was 19. That was five years ago. ;) Phone bill is usually around 10-20 ? a month. I don\'t even remember when i last used a fixed line phone.
Ah Finland. My parents have own phones, my older brother works in Nokia development and has 3 different cellphones. My little brother has his mobile too. And my two little sisters could hardly live without theirs. ;)
The wacky thing are the people using hands free device. As they have their phone hidden somewhere in their pocket, they look like they\'re talking to themselves.
-
Damn Cellphones! There is no gizmo ruder. Nothing.
DEATH TO ALL RINGTONES!!!11 1 eleven
Ok, ok... *calms down*
I have an old Sprint PCS phone, used from when they first came out. My CD player is also a few years old. Both work fine.
I have to be bothered to bring it with me. Age:15.

Phones...what the hell are phones? Cell phones? They are not as small as individual cells, right? The phones have numbers too....what?
*Faldrok easily becomes confused and goes back and lives in his computer...yes, I do.*
Heh, but really...I hate phones and I hardly talk on them. Last phone call I made was 8 months ago and when people call here, I say \"Yeah.\" about 3 times and hang up. I would rather talk in person. If they live far away, write me a damn letter; I probably don\'t want to talk to them anyways. :P
Yeah, I think 80% or more kids in my school own them. One time, there were two stupid kids (idiots...) who were talking and text-messaging each other AT THE SAME TIME. What the hell is wrong with that picture?
Jeez........phones.....heh....
-
got mine jsut now at 16, but my lil sister(11) got one too
but yea everyone here(usa,texas) has them 10+
-
Where I am in Australia no one at my school has a cell phone. We have perfect coverage but no one still don\'t have no cell phone. I am 12, almost 13 and mum said can have one when I go to college, But the college is about 1 hour away so if I miss the bus or something then I can ring her and she\'ll pick me up sometimes at least.
Sorry about the spelling, got a bloody big headache.
-
I just got one this december, on the 20th when i trurned 15.
i read the 80\'s kid thing, so you must be 15 too FESFES.
(I still call ye FESFES, cuz that was your name. and it sticks :)
it was a long and weary argument convincing my parents why i needed one xD
-
Ah damn cellphones cost too much a month though. Cheepest plane here is like 35 bucks a month and Im never even gonna use 1/5 the mins they give me. All my calls will be. \"Hey, I\'m AT HERE\" oR \"mEET ME AT ____ AT ___.\"
Might just get it prepaid but then i gotta pay like 200 bucks for the same phone I can get free with a plsan =/
-
Everyone has cells by me. I got mine when I was 15. I say only get a cell phone if you need it, if your parents want to know where you are at all times for example. :O
It wasn\'t hard talking my parents into letting me get a cell phone, they wanted me to have one when I turned 16 anyway.

my phone....... mmmmmmm good phone :D
although im about to get my first monthly bill for it...*wonders how much*
-
Seperot: That phone is....really small. I mean, I could easily crush it in my hand without trying. Do you ever lose it in your pocket? Sheesh, it seems like a few coins would outsize that thing.
That brings me to a question: Are cell phones actually taking to the termanology(spelling...?) of the word \"cell\"? They seem to get smaller and smaller everytime a new one comes out.
*Faldrok travels back into the old Car Phone days and admires the bulkyness of it.*
-
Watches everyone suffer from the radiation from the cell phones, laughs. You Foools Now You Know the Truth Mobile Phones where invented to make men infertile.
Incase you cant guess from that I dont own one nor do I want to own one.
-
well at schools everybody has one ( as Xolon said ) i live in the netherlands also, and i was like 16 when i bought my first phone, 18 when i took a monthly fee based one and i still have that one, now with UMTS instead of nothing :P
-
I dont have one, all my friends do.. sheesh... since we dont have a fixed line(MUAHAHAH) we have a cellphone that just stays home and one for my dad since its cheaper to pay for both than one and a fixed line
i dont really want one, im afraid to walk around with $20 in my wallet at school, im not taking a $100+ thing to school :P
-
Dude that phone sep showed was free? Somthing like that would run like 250 around here =/
-
fes of fes the phone is free because im on a monthly contract of ?25 spread out over 12 months with the option to upgrade every 3 months i belive.
