View attachment 40186 my first cell looked like that. remember the days of going across the street and you were roaming @ $5.00 a min

Heck it probably a collector item now....There seems to be a collector for just about everything these days. Technology has changed....and it come down to move and groove or lose. Learn it or lose it. Not going to get better people just going to have to get smarter.

why do you pay to have your number unlisted it's a waste of $$$. you do realize that different companies sell your phone numbers and e-mail addys

Honestly I could get along real well without a phone of any kind. The main reason for keeping a phone is for my adult kids who always out there working on the road traveling....So they have a way to keep in touch. As for the unlisted number it does not cost me extra at all....And yes I realize companies do sale phone numbers.

i tell em to screw off and that if they keep calling that i will start a lawsuit among things like getting them fined more less that i will have them standing in line with there check books open works wonders. now no one bugs me once i exercised my rights on knowing the laws

I have never had a landline in my name. We had one when I first moved out with my girlfriend but later on when I moved out on my own I only had a cell phone. I have had a cell phone for the last 20 years.
I get next to zero robo calls and absolutely no telemarketing calls.

Now my parents on the other hand get non stop robo and telemarketing calls.

I am not 24hr accessible like others. My phone has a nice feature Do not disturb. I set it to start at 19:30 and ending at 09:00. I have exceptions, My mom is the only one that can reach me 24hrs a day because they are old and dad is not doing so well.
I love this feature because for some reason E-mails and texts seem to come in at ungodly hours and I never have to hear the alert

I have very few problems in life....So my stress level most of the time is zero. Most of the time pretty much happy go lucky....and don't let too much get under my skin.

even though my phone has a do not disturb feature i put mine in airplane mode. downfall to that is no one can get to me but it charges the battery faster also

 

[Rigjockey]

I have posted this before but, When did it become acceptable to call someone after 9pm?

 

[ironpony]

Are you sure there is anyone who wants to get to you? Outside of ex's?

i got smart with these aholes. i bought a few air horns and put it up to the mouth pice and let her rip. haven't been bothered since. then there was another time when i had my number changed. and who ever had the number owed a ton of CC debt and the collector was hounding me telling me that i was the other person and that he could force me to pay. my tude was really you don't even know who i am and like i told you i am not the person that your looking for and that i had my number changed and this was the one they gave me. then i told him since he told me that he could force me to pay i filed an FDCPA violation on them and got money out of them. i told him also if they want to keep playing there little games that i would have them standing in line with there checkbook open. never heard nothing since
