Re: Mobile Phones

I see most people have them for emergency as we get older.
What about the cost of the 3G Iphone? Our pensions are not enough now and £30+ a month will reduce it further wont it?
Will we be complaining when all the public phone boxes are gone?
There was a program called 'The Electric Dream' which had a family relive the electrical generation developements from the 70's to the 80's. In one part the family had to use a public phone and they did not understand how it worked.
Like most things, Use it or Lose it.

You are right - I may consider whether I keep my iphone when I retire in 5 years but I am still working now. Unless we get a government that will look after pensioners as they deserve, then I will keep it. Maybe all pensioners should get a free phone - would allow them to stay in touch at no cost - and I am sure it wouldn't cost that much to fund.

Re: Mobile Phones

I can't remember the last time I used a public phone box If they've changed that much, I doubt if I could get it right first time!

Re: Mobile Phones

Public phones have almost disappeared here in Washington, they used to be everywhere, now you rarely see one.
