Everywhere you turn around there seems to be a new cell phone company or deal popping up for cell service. You will probably see a great deal more with the upcoming holidays approaching. Cell phones make great Christmas presents!
Remember the days of just a house phone? Or how about the days of pay phones? When I was in middle/high school my family had just one phone and that was located in the kitchen with one long cord; no privacy, no call waiting, and no caller id. My parents answered that phone and screened the calls; rightfully so.
Pay phones came into play whenever I went off as a teen for the evening whether to a high school football game, date, or other event. I always got the "make sure you always have a quarter on you so you can call us at anytime, no matter what". Those days are long gone. Good luck finding a pay phone that's in operation anywhere.
I remember how I couldn't wait to own a cell phone. I didn't even care back then who it was with as long as I had a cell phone. Today much is different. Now there are so many options to choose from no matter where you live. UK like the US also has pay as you go mobile phones where you can choose your network and phone manufacturer. The possibilities are endless and the deals vast. Today I can't imagine not having a cell phone as it's not only communication but a sense of security. I guess it takes the place of those quarters. Do you remember your first cell phone?

My first mobile was the aqua coloured flip phone.. Mum bought it for me the Christmas before I started high school. I was twelve years old and the first of my friends to have one. I thought I was the coolest thing ever. I only ever used that phone for emergency calls or important stuff. Then slowly more and more of my mates got mobiles too and the texting addiction began. That first phone was on a $20 a month plan that I never ever went over. I wish I could have a phone bill that small now!
I had a song playing in the car the other that said something about a phone booth. My son said, "What's a phone booth?"
