I have one, the main reason being because my family is four thousand miles away and they need to be able to reach me sometimes. Also, I just find a cell phone really handy when you live in a sociable kind of environment (as I do, at college). I don't chit-chat on it a lot, I mainly use it for emergencies, but either way, it's a reassuring thought to know that anyone in your life is just a call away. I have a pre-paid package, so I know exactly what I'm spending on my minutes, and I can never go over the top, which is, again, a nice thought. I have one of those horribly tiny cell phones where you can hardly see what's happening on the screen, but I purposely wanted a small one, because I know that if I have a big phone, I just won't take it with me because it'll weigh down my pants and dig into my hip. So I'd really advise a pocketable one that won't encumber you, with a pre-paid package to avoid nasty surprises in the form of phone bills at the end of the month [img]smile.gif[/img]
