Happily but I do need it for work.

Me too....still reckon I could do without it but nearly all the pay phones have disappeared these days .....because of the freakin' boom in mobile phone and smart phone ownership

I upgraded to one a couple of years back but then unfortunately I lost it in a car park so luckily I pulled out an old one (from the drawer I have full of old ones) and it was still a working one......probably at least 8-10 years old at a guess and looks well battered and worn but it still works fine

Have absolutely no interest in a smart phone at all and I carry a tablet most days anyway

Texting can be annoying though (my boss always seems to text me when I'm driving ) and Lord knows how many car accidents and even fatalities and serious injuries this bad habit has caused ??

Of course there is now voice activated texting but like most things, it costs extra

However they are extremely handy in emergency situations , you cannot deny that distinct advantage
