well most people carry them, i don't because it's rather expensive for me with mine budget. Dont have a cell phone for the same reason. i NEVER call, i always make sure people know were i am and wenn im back. I only use the phone to change apointments ( which i rarly do. ). So buying a phone which i proberbly won't use, is not affordable. I will buy one wenn i got enough €€€€€ to buy one to call in emergency's.
