It's here. Everyone I know has cell phones. My daughter is going to be driving soon and that is when I want her to have a cell phone for obvious reasons. A family of four.
From what I hear, the phones are a considerable source of consumer rage - billing issues etc. I would like ours to be as truely "need communications", not the blabbing as we pull out of the driveway device I have seen so often.
Trac phone, pre paid, does any one have an informed suggestion?

I bought a pre-paid phone for cash. I gave them a name of someone who isn't me.
I only use it when I'm out of town or on emergencies. I need to buy $20 per quarter of minutes to keep it active. Last I checked I have $42 in the bank.
With a cell phone your every move and call will be placed in your nsa data logs. Your computer can read your cell phone info whether you want it to or not...and vice versa.
I'm not paranoid. They all are out to get me;^)
If you drive on Interstates and toll roads, they'll capture your cell phone signal and info too.

Tahnks Fred, but how else can they connect you? Do you mean thay can capture your info if you don't use the phone?

You used to be able to take the battery out to not be tracked. Now I understand they all have some sort of internal battery.
I look at cell phones as goobermint tracking devices in addition to being gubmint remote listening devices. Like I said, I ain't paranoid.

That's not the only thing wrong with radio collars.....ooops I mean Cell Phones.
A study by scientists in Finland has found that mobile phone radiation can cause changes in human cells that might affect the brain. The study at Finland's Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority found that exposure to radiation from mobile phones can cause increased activity in hundreds of proteins in human cells grown in a laboratory. Nonetheless the study, the initial findings of which were published June 2002, in the scientific journal Differentiation, raises new questions about whether mobile phone radiation can weaken the brain's protective shield against harmful substances. The study focused on changes in cells that line blood vessels and on whether such changes could weaken the functioning of the blood-brain barrier, which prevents potentially harmful substances from entering the brain from the bloodstream.

They also found that one hour of exposure to mobile phone radiation caused cultured human cells to shrink. The researchers believe this is triggered by a response that normally only happens when a cell is damaged. In a person, such changes could disable safety mechanisms that prevent harmful substances from entering the brain from the bloodstream. Radiation-induced changes in the cells could also interfere with the normal death process of apoptosis. If cells that are "marked" to die do not, tumors can form. The study found that a protein called hsp27 linked to the functioning of the blood-brain barrier showed increased activity due to irradiation and pointed to a possibility that such activity could make the shield more permeable, he said. Increased protein activity might cause cells to shrink--not the blood vessels but the cells themselves--and then tiny gaps could appear between those cells through which some molecules could pass.
