When people talk about cell phone stuff, I feel like the dog in The Far Side who hears "blah blah blah."

I have a cell phone. I even use it once in a while.

I have a cell phone, too! The phone was free, and I pay my mother $12 a month to be an extra line on her Family plan. (Yes, I am 38 years old and married.) The phone even has texts and voice mail!

My company has terrible benefits but one thing I am super thankful for is having my iPhone account paid for by them. I don't see a bill.

(And I use it internationally sometimes on vacation and I never see that bill, either. Though I *did* hear about it when I racked up a $1,700 bill when I visited Argentina and Chile. I had just gotten an iPhone and it was on the default set up that IT set up for me. Which, was to check work email approximately 1300 times a day. Yikes! The fact that I wasn't asked to pony up for it at all is part of the reason that I don't complain much when work takes over my every waking hour occasionally.)

Me too!

Hoping these storms move through faster.

Yeah, the HR guy asked if I wanted my cell phone on my business cards and my reply was basically "Not if they aren't paying for it" (although I think if I do use it for work they kick in for part of the bill, which is why I may just go all fancy and get the new Torch after all).

I live on my cellphone, but a little less so now that I have Google Voice, since it eliminates long distance charges. But it's doing data transmission all the time--though I have no international service, which is good.

Do it! That's the reason I got a smartphone. They paid for a lot of the phone and are paying almost my entire monthly bill. It's awesome.

Oh deeeeear. Definitely a good thing they ate that.

But that would mean I'm working when not in the office, which I try to avoid. Of course, I probably won't be able to avoid it for long when I have my own projects.

megan, it will mos def (your favorite!) come into play when you start traveling to meet clients.
