Our first topic is about something many of us would rather live without, but double back home to get if we leave them behind. Mobile phones.
We'd like to know your thoughts on mobiles phones and their usage. Things like when you should or shouldn't use them, what time is too late to call someone and when is it appropriate or inappropriate to text or call.

Well personally I thinkthe only way to go when owning a mobile phone is to go pre-paid because it is so easy to keep calling and calling people when you have no limits, but if you start to realise that you are always recharging on a pre paid phone then you will be more aware and obviously cut down on the money you spend on calling and texting. That is one reason why I think it is stupid that you see shows on A Current Affair and Today Tonight showing the teen being a victum of massive phone bills and the parents having to pay up the money when it was the parents fault in the first place for buying their child a phone that is on a plan. How do you expect a child to know the value of a dollar if you give them a limitless phone and then get them out of thousands of dollars worth of phone bills at the end of every month.
There are obvious times when a phone should ot be on or at the least on silent, places like movies, theatres, shows, doctors appointments, interviews and of course at dinner time, however more and more we see people texting and putting there phones on silent which i think is pointless because it still interferes with theses places or times just in a more discreet way.
On the subjct of what time to call people, it all depends on who your calling, why your calling, and what state the caller is in, for example it would be highly innapropriate to call your grandma at 3 in the morning when your off you face drunk.... I think you get my point.
