the cell has replaced the walkie talkies in many areas....

it's nice we can text...it vibrates, no beeps, can communicate in total silence...

helps pass the time

but it's nice to be able to communicate with a hunting partner without making noise.

I'm a senior in high school and I gotta say, when I'm in the middle of a conversation with someone and they pull out their phone, I don't even feel like talking to them. I hate texting, I'd much rather talk on the phone if I have to use a phone at all. The ONLY times I text are during the one or two trips a year i get to go hunting with my uncle, and only if a deer is coming.

My sister is a text-aholic and I really just hate hearing the little keys being typed now. On average she sends and receives 500 messages a day, it's driving me up the wall. I think I make my parents proud because my cell phone bill comes out to be maybe 100 bucks a year, tops. Gotta love those "by the minute" plans for those who never use the phone!

I usually shoot my dad a text to let him know how my morning is going or if he has anything heading his way... Other than that I keep the texting to a minimum. Not much conversation texting at all

Man, I don't even get cell service where I hunt. LOL.
My long distance plan starts 20 minutes out of town in just about all directions. In fact I get charged to post on this forum, when using my Iphone . Not much though Maybe 6 or 7 bucks, because it's International. LOLOur cell phone plans really really suck balls in Brutish Columbia.
I use the Sirius Stilleto 2 to occupy my time.
