It's OK. We don't usually discriminate against numpties in the Shedde,
but you should try a bit harder to keep up at the back sometimes.

4 minutes on Virgin PAYG would be 45p.

I don't believe you only make 4 mins. of calls a month.

I don't believe you only make 3 mins. of calls a month.

In the past month my mobile lists 329 seconds of calls. About half of
them are to the Answerphone to pick up messages that someone could have
waited till they saw me to relate.

Most of my friends are either in the shed or live near enough to walk
round to if I want a chat.

Maybe he only receives calls with it. When I worked in server rooms where
there was virtually unchecked use of the phone, my mobile came out of my
pocket either to receive a call, or else to dig out someone's phone number
from the 'contacts' list. I got through about nine euro in a month, and
that was mainly sending text messages.

You are not alone. I can't say I *never* use mine in the supermarket,
but when I do it's just to ring home and check whether we're out of
something or other.

Very sensible. That way no-one can tell where you are.

We all leave ours on in case of business calls, but I get very few, The
Boy gets none and HWDLAM prolly gets, say, three a day. The contract
for all three of our phones usually costs me less than £20 a month.

Why not? I can go for months at a time without making any calls at all.
It took me over a year to use the original £5 credit. Last August was a
particularly busy month when I sent several texts as well as making phone
calls. The bill was almost a pound.

According to the call log, the last call I made was 16 July when I called
a mate from the cinema to see if she wanted to see Harry Potter. The last
before that was 5th May and the before that was a test call to the house
phone on 11 March and then a call to BT when the landline was out of
action. Those are apparently the only personal mobile calls I've made
this year.

Now that two of my more problematic apprentices are no more, I won't even
be making as many work calls as before.

Well, they'd have trouble telling where I am if it was switched on. The
phone is normally on the window sill by the back door unless I'm
travelling for non-work purposes. Or in the pocket of one or other of my
coats on the coat hooks in the hall.

I can still walk, although not very far or very well, but I have little
desire to womble along listening to summat on my phone when I could be
paying attention to my surroundings, specially if they're pleasant or

In any case, I seem fairly incapable of holding a sensible conversation
on the phone while trying to do something else. And vice versa, which
is why I never ever have the phone switched on while I'm driving.

Was it Gerald Ford who allegedly couldn't chew gum and walk at the same
time?

I are on virgin PAYG, and calls to the voicemule thingy are both free
and not logged.

My jbex phone rings 3 times and goes to voicemail. I then get an
dialogue box from the phone saying "missed call" as though it is my
fault. I have to delete that. Then I get a text message saying I
have voicemail. I have to delete that. Then there is another
dialogue box saying that I have voice mail. I have to delete that.
Then I collect the voicemail, which invariably says "can you ring me
back" so I delete that, select the missed call list and dial back
again.

Drives me bluddy crackers some days.

I've turned voice-mail off, so that if someone /really/ wants to speak
to me they'll call again, rather than putting the onus on me to call
them back. AFAIAC my mobile is for /my/ convenience, not theirs.

They're very lonely, though, 'cos people just can't be arsed phoning

I don't even have a mobile phone. Therefore I am infinitely lonely, because
no other form of human contact is even imaginable any more.

Either that or there's a flaw in the argument somewhere.

If I don't answer the original call but I want to speak to them I call
them back, lack of voice mail doesn't mean not knowing who's called you.
If they get desparate and call again before I've phoned them back, I
will guage from the who's calling whether I really want to answer or not...

I've never used voicemail. As you say, if it's important, they'll ring
again. If it's not, they won't and I shan't care

In any case what is important to a caller is not necessarily what is
important to the person called.

Maybe that doesn't matter to them if they only want to talk to the
people who are important to them.

I don't use voicemail, but my phone does tell me if someone's called
while the phone was switched off and if it's one of the many numbers in
my address book, the phone will tell me who called and *I* can then call
*them*.

If it's not one of those, the odds are it's someone I don't want to
speak to trying to sell me something I don't want.

I have received it and then get annoyed some days later when I contact them
after getting back into an area with reception and wading through the list
