That's what I used to do. When I was living in Ireland, I always had my phone with me. I'd forget my keys, or my wallet or my smokes or my lighter, but I'd never forget my phone. The damn things just become indespensible after a while. But I think I had my ringer on literally less that 1% of the time. The rest of the time it was on vibrate so I knew if someone was after me, but I had the choice of ignoring them if I was busy, or just not in the mood for talking. And if I really didn't want to be bothered, they do have off buttons.

Now a question for those of you who do own cell phones: How much talking do you actually do on them versus text messaging? My old phone bills used to be 95% text messages because no one actually calls anyone unless it's really urgent. I'd think the fact that you have to pay for incoming calls (boo!) would make texts even more popular, or do you have to pay for recieved texts as well?
