I was under the impression from MikeRo's post his care came with its own phone.......
GM cars with OnStar. The car has it's own phone number. You can use OnStar as a hands-free phone with your own cell phone or you can use the built-in phone. They threw in 300 minutes for $15 when we bought the car but the minutes expire after 6 months. Don't know if we'll keep the service, we'll make up our minds towards the end of the 6 month trial period.

What fraud? The support group is for those that don't have a smart phone.

Do I want one... hell yes. Do I want to pay $70 plus a month for phone service.. hell no!

There is no hate or fraud here.

No thanks. I work while I'm at work. I don't need to work when I'm not. It's not worth it.

Hey I'm just offering alternatives.

I agree with your thinking completely btw -- that is exactly why I have both a Droid X (personal) and an iPhone (work). I turn the iPhone OFF when I'm not on call.

I absolutely do not want a smart phone. I'm not as young as I used to be, and multi-tasking is becoming increasingly difficult. It's hard enough to drive while reading my Kindle.






about driving and reading. I've even given up reading road signs.
