We didn't have mobiles until about 6 or 7 months ago, then we both got ones with Orange PAYG. We rarely use them for actual phone calls, the landline is much cheaper, but we text! It's nice because I'm on my own a lot as my husband works long hours and he just texts me whenever he's got a break. He also uses it if he's out and delayed from coming home for some reason or wants to know if I need anything from the shops. It's useful for sending messages to people when it would be inconvenient for them to take a phone call. The text just waits until either it's convenient or they switch their phone on. So get yourself a mobile too and get texting, George! I can't imagine how we managed without mobiles for so long! Bluetooth is handy too.
