About a month ago I ditched my cell phone. I never made many calls and I was tired of paying for it. Not to mention that my carrier didn't have service in many areas I go to daily. Anyway, I really really love the freedom of it.
I ported my phone number over to google voice for a one time 20 dollar fee. I did it mostly because I wanted to keep my same number and my contract with my carrier was up anyway. So basically I check my "phone" online. Its just like checking my email. I get online and listen to voicemails and read texts. They also transcribe my voicemails so I can read them if I'm in class or meetings.
I can make calls and send as many texts as I want without worry of going over because there is no "over." I just plan a little different to make my calls and catch up on work when I have an internet connection(I don't have an internet connection at home right now).
Its amazing, I'm in control of who contacts me and when I want to talk to them. If I want to totally unplug and get away its easy. I realize this wouldn't work for everyone but its perfect for me. Everyone unplug and ditch your cell phones!
