When I was in the US, people didnt use their phones as they do here..........it has become an addiction in Aust.

They why it costs so much more here, they dont have to be compeditive to attract uesers to use the service, and TXTs are a gold mine to a telco charging the same for a few bytes of info at the same rate as a minute of voice.

We recently had a family dinner at a restaurant. hubby's

birthday.  10 of us.  Should have seen the look on everyone's

faces when they were told to turn off their mobiles, and put

them in the bag provided, and they would get them back

when the night was over!  Priceless

At the movies when movie is running..peopke checking and replying to texts and FB and thier phone keeps lighting up is extremely annoying.I sat by one girl doing that then she would whisper to her boyfriend and show him the phone screen.

Using mobiles when dining with others is rude.

Yeh, i told a couple off in the movies last time i went who were doing that.

I said "What did you pay to come to the movies for if you cant stop looking at your phone. Get out or turn it off"

She turned it off

Apps like whatsapp are good to send texts and photos over a wifi connection instead of paying your phone provider so many cents for each one.
Especially good for oseas sms & mms doesnt cost 50-75c for each one.
