omg... you do realize that ppl use cell phones for different purposes... personally during my first trip there our condo didn't have a phone line at all...
so instead of always going to the payphone to make anycall well put it this way... it was more convienent and safe. i was able to get a hold of friends, family and even book my tours! Business purposes on vacation ok understandable leave the phone at home! But i use my for personal use...
I loved having a phone there get a hold of friends to meet them... the whole nine! Especially if my family wanted to get a hold of me! i understand its not life or death with out but everybody has their own reasons for bringing certain things on vacation! personally i don't like to be with out it...
