Pay as you go Phones

I think I may be the last person in the world without a cell phone. I’m pretty sure I’m the last student without a cell phone, as even my fourteen year-old cousin, someone who can’t even get behind the wheel of a car, has her own phone.

I was walking through a department store the other day and I saw a phone designed for elementary school children; it didn’t have any numbers, only buttons to call numbers that the kids’ parents have pre-programmed into the phone. And then there’s me, well past twenty years old and still without a cell phone.

For a long time I persuaded myself that I didn’t need a cell phone, and even if I did need a cell phone I definitely couldn’t afford a cell phone. I didn’t need once since I never talked on the phone much in the first place, so why would I need to call people on the go?

I definitely didn’t want people to be able to reach me anywhere I went. And then there was the money issue. I just couldn’t afford to pay $40 every month to cover my cell phone bill, at least not unless I stopped eating.
