After 3 long long years...this guy is going to have a cell phone.

Yes, I've been without a cell phone for 3 years. An actual Cell phone. The status quo ridiculing will be gone. No I did not give into pressure. I just bid my time and waited.. Patiently. A cell phone is a luxury to some, it was my case unfortunately. I learned the importance of them, not like before, where I didn't care and upgraded every 6 months without thinking about it. 

 

 

The constant banter of "Wait, you don't have a cell phone?!" followed by laughter incredulous of this fact...will be no more. I have purchased the phone I wanted as well. The Xperia Z2. I just have to wait one week for shipping. 

 

The little things in life man, they matter. To me it means a whole lot. To you, well this is nothing. :D I am ecstatic and honestly stoked to finally get some of these girls digits instead of their emails...xD

 

 

So yeah..any of you, call meh. ;*

I'm kinda a vagabond right now though. Lived in 3 totally different places since the beginning of the year, don't plan on settling down for at least 5 years or so.

With VoIP phone systems, you can take them with you.

 

I looked into it when I thought I might be moving to Australia because I still needed a U.S. phone number for work.

 

Basically, once you set your phone system up, the phone number will work anywhere that you have the VoIP system plugged into an internet connection.

As in you have a phone number and a phone, but your phone service is eliminated and you get called over some sort of internet system?

I'm thinking of cutting my cell plan and trying to get by on WiFi alone (iMessaging, Facetime calls, Skype, whatever)

 

Any survival tips?

 

 

This is pretty much all I did, my laptop and some cheap touch screen phone that had no service, I'd hack into peoples wifi or use my wifi at home to communicate via text messaging app, skype, and such apps. 

 

A land line will help, I was a bit of a home body these past three years so if someone needed to call me, they'd call the land line and I'd usually be home. But they would know when I'd be home or not.

    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
    • He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
