   And if that app fails, here’s another: 12 pound sledge.
   Works everytime it’s used.

   My favorite button. My cell phone is off more than it’s on…and I don’t respond to text messages.

    For most people, there’s no risk of that particular button wearing out from over use! I wonder what percentage can ever find it…

    Hate cell phones – hate all phones actually but they are necessary evils. My family is always complaining because my cell is off more than on, as is the ringer on the house phone.

    I don’t have that problem. I canceled to receive text messaging on my phone. I now can’t send nor receive.
    Just ask to block them.

    As I get older, my memory fortunately gets worse. I forget to bring it with me more often then not.

    My phone is…

    just a phone.

    No apps. No games.

    I do think that this whole idea of cramming more and more time consuming cr@p into a phone has gotten just plain silly.

    “You have reached my voicemail. If you have something really interesting, I may get back to you. Or not.

    “We are now playing Phone Tag. You’re _IT_!”

    Unfortunately, there’s no off button for the blasted TVs in bars, airports, and too many other places…

    what ever happened to that key-fob device that consisted of a single button that when pushed rotated through all the popular “off” codes for television remote controls?

    I LIKED that idea!

    old gag has a farmer sitting in his kitchen, conversing with a visitor when his phone starts ringing. it keeps on ringing while he makes no move to answer it. finally the visitor asks him if he intends to answer. he replies, “No. I had the thing installed for MY convenience.”

    LOL at yyyguy

    For what its worth I have used a Cell phone in all the years they have been out maybe 3 … 4 times total. I figure if someone needs to get a hold of me they can call me at home. as long as they don’t call the last 10 minutes of CSI New York or Miami.
