Sorry about the wrong info on voice mail charges. I think you're right -- it depends.
On the other point, I just think that a good test of any behavior is whether you'd be content if everyone did the same. If everyone used their cell phones exclusively for outgoing calls, no one would ever be reachable by cell. The situation is somewhat analogous to answering machines. I don't REALLY need an answering machine because if someone wants to reach me badly enough, they'll call back. But I'm glad other people do have answering machines so I don't have to keep calling them if they don't answer. I can't chuck mine in good conscience w/o being OK with everyone else doing the same. ------ Forwarded Message From: Sue Cubic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2007 10:55:41 -0400 Subject: Re: OT:Cell phone do not call At 10:19 AM 10/03/2007 -0400, Harvey Simon wrote >Just one question, Sue.

I'm sitting here now reading my TracFone instructions. It plainly says: "Airtime units are used when you access your voice mail or retrieve voice mail messages from your TracFone". So I guess it depends on the phone/plan one has.
