Already tried. The SIM in the new phone is the wrong size.

Is that correct Sir?

Personally, I hate the damn things. When I retire I will not carry a cell phone. If I'm not reachable there is a reason for it.
What kind of job do you have?

I'll rather have the annoying arseholes (*cough* little brother) to call me than to find me in person.

prepaid card - all in all about 30 bucks a month for texting and about 5-8 minutes of conversations every month.
minimal samsung folding phone: phone, sms.
not even a radio or a camera or SD card slot.

working in IT, you are connected enough.

5 years ago , people got connected and thought it was cool to be online, have your stuff online, wherever you go, whatever you do, as long as you get internet.

i shook my head back then, and LOL today when they scream "BIG BROTHER! NSA! GOOGLE!"

naah. I aint on no leash... i think

Just watched this on You Tube and thought it rather apt. I know some people that are just like this.

I have known a few that would fit fine.

I personally feel sorry for them, slaved by their phone.

Please DO THIS next time someone start to either talk or texting when you are talking to them- just turn around and walk away as Platapus wrote earlier.

I have done this before and the response?

They got angry and said that I need to learn how to behave.

It might be fun to barrage such a person with questions.

"Who's that you're talking to?"
"What did he say?"
"What did you just say?" (when they're texting)

If you know the person he's talking to then you can start giving questions or comments for him to retransmit: "That's John you're talking to? Tell him to give me a call tomorrow".

Yeah THEY get angry and YOU are the rude one.

But that's the reaction I get.
