Living without a cell phone?

[MotionMan]

I imagine if I was older, had a family, had an established career, I wouldn't "need" one as much.

Not necessarily true. However, for those of us who only got cell phones (and e-mail and web browsing) when we were already out of school, you sound like mobile phones are up there with air, water and food.

I would HATE to be without my mobile phone, e-mail and the web, but I also recognize that I lived many years without them, and could do so again.

The problem with tmobile rates is the following year if you reload for $10 the rate/minutes increase. Let say this year you start with $100 and the rate is 10cents a minute. Then throughout the year you use $10 so you refill now with $10 to maintain the gold status. Now your rate per minute goes up to .15/m0 or .20.mo. This is where tmobile gets you. Your still a gold member but your rate is higher.
