I got the most pared down cheap phone I could find. It came with a camera that I don't use (and which is crappy anyway) and I use it purely for talk and a little bit of text.

I'm a phone minimalist - I just have a pay-as-you-go plan that averages out to about $30 a month. It's basically a fallback tool for when email doesn't solve things.

No camera on mine. I have never paid for a cellular phone.

I make calls; I receive calls.
It's my primary timepiece.
It's my backup alarm clock when I travel.
I've received texts on it occasionally; I've never sent a text.

That's it.

I use it for calls (of course), an alarm, a tip calculator, take a picture or two (not too often though).

Yah, I had a unlimited deal... As it happens, I live about half a kilometer from the border, and phone decided to roam to a swedish operator, with 8€/MB.

I mainly use it to:

Take photos, it's great always having a camera handy wherever I am.

Check my fantasy football scores/make substitutions and change my team when away from home.

Check the football scores online.

Store everyone I know's phone numbers.

Keep my non-work diary and appointments, and alert me for stuff I have to remember.

Play games, especially on the train when I have nothing to read.

As an alarm clock when I'm away from home.

Call my girlfriend on the way home from work and arrange to meet her for a drink.

Call my girlfriend on the way home from work to say I've bumped into my brother and am stopping for a drink.

If I'm going out I can call people I'm going to meet to say I'm going to be late, check if they are still in the initial meeting place or have moved on to a new pub etc. (or they call me for the same reason).

In a busy place if I can't find people I'm meeting I call people to do the "where are you?" thing.

Send text messages to people all over the world.

I actually make all my calls from my mobile, but some of them I could use the landline for so I haven't mentioned them.

Tattila, seriously? Oh man that sucks!! So I assume you had to pay the bill... wow. That's major suckage.

[Tattila the Hun]

Yah, need to get a bloody bankloan for it... I'm disputing it, and taking it up with all sorts of instances, a major pain in the afterburner.

Didn't know it could do that, even. They really need to warn customers of that, it's a minor thing, with ridiculous potential for damages...

[LordShiva]

Wow that sucks big time.

You should set your phone to ask you before connecting to teh internet while roaming.

[Krill]

hope you win the dispute Tattila
