For someone who is in the military (Like myself), having a GPS at the ready whenever is great. You can easily get moved to a new base in a city or state you've never been in. And it really helps to get around. Or when you go on TDY or a deployment. And most people don't always carry a GPS around on those occasions. Especially if they already have a cellphone with that on it. And a camera can be useful, too. Especially when we're trying to explain to someone what was wrong with the jet. A video or picture helps. And most of the time, camera's themselves weren't allowed. And most of the time, you won't be near a phone when working. But you will need to text/call people to get the right tools or parts. So, that's why I say it depends on the person and what they need it for. Also, most of the time, I realize that people seem to be out most of the time when they make or receive calls. At least, the people I call and receive calls from. And my family. And most of my co-workers and such. Obviously, I can only base this off of the people I know. But they usually seem to be out of the house when I call them... The cost sucks, but when it comes to smartphones, they can actually do a lot. And carrying a phone is much better than carrying a laptop, GPS, camera, etc. all at the same time when a phone can do all that on it's own. And it's either a similar size, if smaller than the rest. That's why it's actually not hard to rationalize. And they are some cheap plans. And you can even get certain smartphones cheap. Not the newest ones, but they're still smartphones... I'm generalizing for the majority of people with one. They are ignorant or lazy. Obviously there are a few cases, military or first responders, where it can be handy. Does every dang kid need a phone? Absolutely not. No such thing as a 'cheap' plan. Even if the monthly rate is lower than another company you can be sure a stream of fees and hidden charges will follow. <cite>DPsx7 posted [p:902238278] in does anyon...
