    I don't keep my cellphone with me every friggin' minute of the day. I spent too many years tied to a pager and then cellphone every waking minute. I don't like nor need to be that much in touch with anybody. My cell phone usually stays in the beverage holder of my pickup.

    I can't even imagine needing to have my cellphone in church.

    And there's nothing more annoying than a cellphone going off in the theaters or church. I'm always up on stage at church, so for me, it would be quite embarassing.
    For a long time, I had the screaming arab voice, yelling, "Infidel... answer the phone... infidel... answer the phone or I may blow up..." It was a real crowd-pleaser.

    I can't tell you how many times I've been yelled at by my wife because my cell phone was in the truck while I was in a store or something.

    When at work, my cell stays in the car as well. One night she actually called dispatch to make sure I was OK because she tried calling 5 or 6 times during the shift, and each time I was away from my car. I told her that if something happened to me at work, the sgts would make sure someone came by and picked her up to take her to the hospital, so she wouldn't do that anymore.

    Oh, and I have the illest, super baddest, hippest ringtone around- ring ring ring

    These days with all the city noise you can't hear the thing anyway,so it's on vibrate and besides I don't give out my number to anyone except to people from work.

    If I need to talk to anyone I call them, and when I am at home all the phones are on silent and the machines off.

    my main ringer is usually either disturbed or metallica. although there are a few young ladies who will make this song come out of my phone when they call. :D
