Communications Devices

cell... I use it a few times a day (lucky for me most everybody I know uses the same service, so we aren't charged for the calls)... I know, I need to meet more people :tongue2:

I have a PDA somewhere... never used it.... my wife received a couple of them from her work. She'd give me her old one, when they gave her a new one... needless to say she uses hers all the time, I don't... I'm in the dark ages with a paper calender (full month on the page so I can check out my week/futer weeks without turning the page)...

Cell Phone. It's my only phone. My roomate and I both have cell phones so it would be stupid for us to purchase a home phone. It would just be another bill.
Same here.

Cell phone. Does ANYONE carry a pager anymore? What would be the purpose?
They used 'em where I worked over the summer. Anytime you got paged, you were supposed to call back to the shop immediately with your cellphone. I never figured that one out.

My wife had to have one at the hospital where she works because they would not allow cell phones. They now allow cell phones so the pager is gone.

I have a cell phone (Nextel piece of shit) for work and I hate it. What really drives me crazy is how dependent people become due to the convenience of cell phones. I was off one day last week and I received a call from my assistant with questions she knew the answers to. Instead of making the decisions herself she took the easy way and called me.

pagers have much better range of reception than the new cell phones, that being said they supposedly zap you with a lot more radiation. so im told.
