I just got a cell phone.  I live alone, and I had adjusted to the fact that I have no way to reach anyone if I’m in trouble.  Pre-planning my moves helps.  Affordability is an issue with cell phones for me.  Whether I use the phone or not, I’m constantly connected; decreases stress levels and increases daily comfort.

I did not want a cell phone, but my family said they feel better now that I have one, since I have to travel alone a lot.
