i think that this isn't really a bad thing, because u don't want to be stuck at home all day waiting for a call to come in, what if they never even call, and u want to go out,but you cant because you have to wait for the person to call. just get a cell phone and thats how they can reach u if they really need to.
maybe im to addicted to cell phones but thats what i think.
