I spend way to much time talking on my cell phones and trying to find out if I am average compared to how others talk on their phones or if I need to lay off...?

 

 

So about 3 or 4 months ago I got a new i530 Nextel cause my other one got wet... I like this phone over the i560's I think the i-530 holds up well!

I was looking at my call timers at lunch today and I felt like I spend way to much time on the phone...

 

My phone lifetime was at 104:03:46...

Direct Connect was at 222:08:14...

 

And on my Verizon which I got a new one about the same time but for that stupid screen and on this phone I already have...

 

50:36:14

 

 

Obviously I use my Nextel a lot more....

Last month I talked a whopping 110 minutes for the entire month.

 

We share 700 minutes between 3 of us (me, wife and teenage daughter).

 

Keep in mind, this does not include Mobile-to-mobile minutes or nights/weekend.

She knows better. She gets 200 minutes/month. Last month we went over by 27 minutes (727 total), she had over 300. She paid the $10.80 (.40 x 27) overage. I told her she was lucky I do not use my alotted minutes, or she would have owed over $45, so she had better be careful. She does not have a job, and she pays for her own cell phone ($25/month + any overages).

 

Minutes are usually not a problem, it's the texts that kill her. She gets 400 texts/mo and she usually runs out with a week left in the month.

 

I hate cell phones, I wish they had never been invented. I could get by easily without it. They do come in handy at times, but in general they are unnecessary. Texting is especially stupid.

My plan provides 1700 minutes plus free nights and weekends. I usually go over 25 to 100 minutes in a given month. Last month I had over 700 calls. I would LOVE to throw my phone out the window at least once a day... but I like money too much. :D

i talk about 15 hours a month and i usually send around 1500 text messages....

 

i have an unlimited plan though so its not a big deal..

I send NO text messages. I CALL people if I need to talk to them. Anybody that sends me text messages gets their house shot up by all of my automatic weapons.

 

WTF? It's like frikking MORSE CODE.

We share 2100 minutes between 5 people and never go over. I only text when at work and can't talk (gets food ready for me faster!). I hate phones. My wife also hates phones, so we hardly ever talk on them. Works out pretty nice. I did, however, find out that you can text google (normal charges apply)...get directions, weather, sports info, etc. Comes in pretty handy.

I talk a lot on my BlackBerry Pearl. I have free incoming minutes because it's linked to my work # too. I just had it replaced today because I wore the other one out (wasn't even a year old).
