I never had a cell phone until I rented a room in the basement of a house. I couldn't use the landlady's phone, and a cell was the only choice, other than having no phone at all. I got one and now I wouldn't live without it. It has a built-in phone book so I can make any important call with no problems. It has a clock and a calculator, and a converter that I've programmed to handle nautical miles and long tons. I love it.
On the other hand, I found that my calling habits are so limited that any plan I subscribed to would be a waste of money, so I'm using pay-as-you-go cards at 10 cents per minute. Last month my total phone bill was $4.32. My usual phone call is to the temp agency about a job, and if I call a friend it's just to plan where to meet and talk face-to-face.
I love mine, but it's a tool, not a leash.
