[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 609677, member: 11791"] OK, so I'm in a different country, which may be part of the difference, but... Where I live? You could be stranded for absolutely hours if not days, with not a soul in sight... absolutely nowhere to even walk to that would guarantee contact with a person. Cell phone is not simply an option... it's survival. Even in the city, it could be a couple hours' walk to a populated area where there are even businesses open after 5 p.m. Used to be, there was a payphone every half mile in the city, and every 5 miles on the highway, even on less-used secondary roads. They kept the phones going even when the small towns and the little service stations died... until cell phones became popular. [/QUOTE]
