The Vulcan to the Sky organization desperately needs donations THIS WEEKEND to save the last Vulcan as a flying machine

I just gave them £5. Seemed like a good cause.

How long is a minute? If you get free minutes with your mobile, but you make 0845 calls or something else expensive, will your minutes last less than a minute?

You can't use free minutes on anything with an 08 suffix.

Just stole this offa someones' facebook. Brilliant.

Or even an 08 prefix.

Thanks for clearing that up. There is so much about the World of Mobiles that I don't understand, having made do with an old PAYG phone for years... it doesn't do much, but it keeps working, which is more than a lot of modern phones do.

So further questions are: does anyone actually like touchscreens? I know an awful lot of people who have given up on them as a bad idea.

Has anyone given up on using a landline?

I've gone off touchscreens!

I want my next phone to have buttons, big lovely buttons. And lots of them.

The word buttons sounds wrong... Keys?

I love touchscreen.

Leave me alone, I'm ill. The sickness is clearly travelling to the wordy makering parts of my brainspace. Cabbage.

Yep. I now use my (touchscreen) iPhone for all my calls.

I would be happy without a landline.
I would be ecstatic if I could only be reached by text or email. Or letter.

Most people only keep the land line for t'internet.

Practically the only phonecalls I ever get on the landline are offering loft insulation and Sky packages anyway. Useless.
