Anywho, it's Ten on Tuesday time! Feel free, as always, to link up over at Roots and Rings. (Also, it's one of my fav blogs, so check it out, anyway =)
1. What type of phone do you have? Do you like it?
iPhone and I am totally an iPhone person. I will spout its glories to anyone who will listen. I have a 3GS, and I want a 4, but since my upgrade with AT&T doesn't happen until next February (ooh hoo hoo,) and there are rumors that the 5 will be out before then, I may just wait and get the 5. Hopefully by then we will have the money to throw away on fancy gadgets. Because really, I'm in agreement with the commercials: If you don't have an iPhone, well...you don't have an iPhone.
2. How old were you when you got your first cell phone?
Uhm...high school, I think? Sohpomore year. I got one pretty much as soon as they became vaguely affordable. It was about the time my friends started driving, so I was out and about and getting rides from school to theatre and theatre to home, so my parents wanted to know where I was.
3. How many cell phones have you owned since your first?
Let's see...I had a little baby Kyocera for my first one. Then I stepped on it, cracked the screen (I take real good care of stuff, can't you tell?) and it slowly went crazy until I was forced to get a new one. I loved that little phone. After that I had a couple flip phones. My sister and I got a contract for the two of us, so pretty much every time that was up, we got the new "free" phones when we renewed. An exact number is hard, though. Somewhere around 5?
4. How much is your average monthly phone bill?
Uhhh....I don't know. Nate pays the bill. I want to say it's like, $130, for our two data plans (thank goodness for being grandfathered into unlimited data!) We also have unlimited texting, with the lowest number of minutes possible...and we still have rollover. Neither of us talk on the phone very much.
5. When you were a kid/teenager, were you allowed to have a phone in your room?
I don't remember if I ever had the actual phone unit itself. We had at least one cordless phone from the time that cordless phones were available -- my Dad likes new technology -- and at least two phones lines from the time I was 11 (though one was for dial-up (oh my gawd, dial-up?) or DSL, when we switched over,) because we are an interwebs family. In any case, who needs the phone when you can just take the receiver up to your room and leave it there?
6. Do you like talking on the phone or do you despise it? Or somewhere in-between?
I hate talking on the phone. It makes me feel so, so very awkward. I'd much rather text/email/IM.
7. Do you text a lot? Is texting/talking while driving illegal where you live? Are you guilty of it anyway?
Yup. I don't think it's illegal here. I don't have a car, so I don't text and drive. I used to text at stoplights in Tallahassee, but I was pretty good about not texting while the car was actually moving and under my control.
8. What sort of texting keyboard does your phone have? Touch screen, slide out, or something different? Do you care?
Touchscreen. Oh yeah, iPhone.
9. Look at the last call in your call log – who is it? What were they calling about? Who calls you the most?
Yesterday I got a call from a number I didn't recognize, as I was leaving work, so I didn't pick up. Turns out it was from a research firm in Boston that I had signed up for while I was living there, for some extra money, seeing if i wanted to participate in a study. Awesome how they never called me while I was living there...
10. What is the longest phone call you can recall having?
I remember I used to talk for hours late-night on weekends to my guy friends, because obv there were no sleepovers happening, since we were in middle school and all. It was before computers got real popular for that kind of stuff. And my friend Evan didn't have access to a computer/the internet, for a while, anyway, so we chatted on the phone.
