I used to be highly addicted to cell phones in the '90's.

In 2005 I spent a year working overseas. When I got back I just never got around to buying a new phone. I have to say, it has been extremely liberating.

So much so that we went one further - we don't answer our land-line either unless it's someone we know and we don't check voice mail.

I also don't wear a watch and go to sleep/get up whenever my body tells me to rather than stick to a strict schedule.

You can reach me via email, MSN, GoogleTalk, Skype or hey, knock on my door and say hello!

I use my cell phone a lot more for GoogleTalk than for calls.

In fact I have a data plan that has no call minutes. If I want to make a call, I can buy a prepaid card or call from other phone.
