Re: I hate cell phone culture.
said by Logwind  :I refuse to buy one. If that means paying 50 cents to make a call home while on campus, so be it. You must live close to home then.
My school is only an hour away from my house. Yet, it is in a different area code, and any call home would constitute as long distance. The 50 cents from the payphone would add up quickly.
I could subscribe to a phone service, if I wanted to be ripped off. The local phone calls are 20 cents a call, and long distance is outrageous.
Then I have my cell phone - $40/month, free long distance, and free nights and weekends. With the amount of out of area code calling I do, I save a lot of money.
Since more students have cell phones, that means that if you are on a local plan, you might have to pay long distance to call the person who is next door to you.
