unless the tower is down and you don't get signal ... I dunno I'm just adding in the only downside. It would really suck if it just happens that you have a heartattack and the cell tower is down at the same time that would be bad ya know?

Get a cellphone plan with free long distance?



Skype is apparently really, really good. Generally if /. thinks it's good, it really is.

Haha, I thought it was something to do with my post about my uncle/aunt, and Dysfnctnl85's intense hidden pent up hatred of them. Ok, carry on
