Do you think you're the only person who might have an emergency? What if someone you love has an emergency and needs to reach YOU?
DH hated having a cell phone and decided to go without one. But then we had that big blackout that plunged a quarter of the country into darkness, and a few other post 9/11 bomb scares (we both worked in NYC at the time), and he realized that something really could happen where we'd need to get in touch with each other right away. So he got one and kept it on. Now he's got an iphone and is addicted, and I'm constantly telling him to put the thing away!
