That is a different take from what I usually hear from people. Am I right in assuming that you are in a line of work that doesn't require you to communicate that much.
But even so, how would you communicate with your family or loved ones if they ever have to be away from you for some time ?
I guess more people started using the so called 'dumbphones'. Maybe owning something like that will the serve the purpose of occassional communication for you.
My work does include phones, just not cell phones, which also means I pay none of its bills. If anyone needed to communicate with me, there's always what we're doing right now.
