I have just the solution for all you cell-phone haters, for all you 
afraid-to-talk-loudly-on-the-phone people, or for those who just don't 
want to talk on the phone in the movie theatre. 

As you know, I'm a deaf adult. That means I don't use the phone too 
much (calling my family and people I know very well just to understand 
their voice on the phone) so I have one of those cool pagers where I 
can chat with someone without making any noise whatsoever. The pager 
doesn't make any noise as well, it just vibrates. Thanks to AOL, I can 
IM people anytime, even talk to people in other countries on my pager. 
I can also recieve e-mail which is very convienent. 

I never use it driving as well.  

That's my solution for those who don't like cellphones/think they are 
annoying. Get a pager and you don't have to pay for by the minute, long 
distance, etc etc. My pager is about 30 dollars a month (I had another 
one that was 50 dollars, so I cancelled it) and I just pay the 30 
dollars, no more. Not for minutes. Not for Long distance. 

This is from a girl whose phone bill averages twenty-five cents a 
month.  

get a pager!
