I can, because I do. Never had one. I agree with Robex and frugal farm wife, I don't always want to be available.

I have been thinking about getting one that isn't on a contract, that I just put minutes on. I travel out of town for work and would like to have that safety tool available-our roads have been closing a lot here in Northern California too. Sometimes it would be nice to be able to make a call when I'm not at home. My boyfriend had a work one for about a year that he was allowed to use for personal use, and it was handy sometimes. However I see so many abusers out there-talking on a cell phone in a restaurant is incredibly offensive to me-that I'm wary of getting one and becoming "one of them." I'll probably mull it over another year or so.
