I like the mobile phone, took me a while to catch on myself, but I really do like the benefit of the technology.
ok so the next step:

1. do you have wireless internet connection? if not, set one up.
2. is your phone an android smart phone? if not, check your provider if you can (this might be an option on the iphone but i can't say for certain).

if or when the ansewr to both is yes, download an widget/app to turn on and off data. when your at home, turn it off.

download skype to your mobile and get a skype number or (if your in the US) download google voice and get a google voice number.

in the settings to either one you set it up to redirect to your actual mobile phone number.

then you give your new skype/google-voice number to your friends and family.

if you are calling or recieving calls when your at home or in any public area with wifi, you can answer from your mobiles, your doing it for free.

saves a lot of money.
