I've never had one and I am 35. I don't intend to get one either. I hardly ever speak on the phone.

I'm 21 and haven't....

I don't even use my regular phone more than 2 times a week. I wouldn't use it enough to make at worth it.

Could I live without a cell phone if I didn't need it for work? Yes. Would I want to? No.

I"m on cell phone #5.........

Its nice to have the ability to pick up the phone and call whenever i want. I ditched the home phone being there was no more use for it, and my cell costs about the same :)

I'm 18 and have had one for a little over a year; I love mine and it would suck to not have one...

I do have a Trakphone which resides in my car, and is more than likely out of date, and therefore, out of service. Does that count? I hope not. I hate cellphones.

Had one back in 2000-01. Best moment of ownership was when I closed the account and traded the phone here for a HDD, FDD and a stick of RAM.

We don't even have a land line (haven't for 2+ years). We all have Nextel phones.

I've had mine for about 9 months now. I can't imagine going back to not having one.

Owned 2.

One was a friend of mine's phone, that another friend with pooey credit wanted, I transferred it to my name and he made the payments.

So not really.

The other was a Nextel that my wife actually used, as I was provided one with only the Direct Connect feature at work.

So I never really had one, I guess. But I've had 2 contracts for them.

I'll never own one. They give me headaches.
