It just really sucks that my business relies on a cell phone.
It shocks people that I leave my house without my phone - on a regular basis.
I was a 'slave to my phone' early on, back in the days of a 'bag phone' (car phone with slightly more mobility). By 1993 I was a slave to my phone, having to be on-call at all times. Even with many employees, I still had to be (by my own assertion) available at all times.
I was big on 'the buck stops here'. So, I had a phone. I'd even use the phone as a cradle MODEM so that I could dial in and get dial-up - though that was short-lived. Eventually, tech advanced to the point where I could just use it like a phone.
At the time, none of the hotels had internet available.
Man, times have changed...
Anyhow, I refuse to be a slave to my phone any longer. I insist on few things, but this is one of those things. I do not care if I'm left wanting and without transportation home. I'll find a solution, but it will not involve me carrying a phone.
Also, I am very unlikely to answer your phone call. Unless I know you AND expect a call, that phone is gonna ring until it goes to voice mail. Voice mail gets deleted pretty much automatically so I hope you call when you're expected and at a time I'm willing to accept calls.
I will no longer be a slave to my phone.
Exception: I use one of those phones as my ISP. I never answer calls on that line. They offered 'unlimited' and I took them up on the offer. I go through 500 to 700 GB per month with that cell connection. They don't appear to mind as I've now done so for years.
