Prompted by the question of whether or not cell phone users are making polls innacurate.
This isn’t intended to start debate, just a straight-up poll. We already know the SDMB members (and internet poll-takers in general to a lesser degree) are left-leaning, and I wonder how many of us are pretty much wireless these days.
1)Are you an exclusive cell phone user?
2)Are you from the US and planning to vote?
1)Yup.
2)Yeah, and in a swing state, too.
And to answer my own question
Yes. I do have a land line, but it’s only used for internet access and international calls, I don’t take calls on it. I’ve been doing this for a year and a half, and I don’t miss the telemarketers one bit.
Yes
Yes
and
Yes
Yes and yes.
Yes and Yes.
Yes and yes.
Yes and Yes.
I’ll note that I don’t think any of the people I know who graduated with me last year botherd to get landlines while I’ve never known anyone older then 30 to not have a landline, so I think that the group of people who rely only on cell phones are overwelmingly under 30. Allegorical evidence of course, but still several dozen people at least for which I can’t think of any exceptions.
Perhaps folks could submit thier ages as well to see if this holds true.
Yes
Not from US
Yes / Yes
-Yes
-Yes/Swing State
I should add that technically I do actually have a land line at the moment. A phone comes with my dorm room here. Although, I don’t actually know the phone number to it, and never give it out except to my family who has the number. I do use it for internal calls though.
At home, my family hasn’t had a land line for maybe 7 years now. So, that would be at least 2 people over 30 who are exclusive cell phone users. Although, largely I’m inclined to agree with Malodorous’ theory about ages.
I use my cell phone exclusively, which helps save money on a line I wouldn’t use anyway. I am also planning to vote and in a state which, from what I have seen, is more swing than it used to be (Virginia), though I’m still fairly certain it will go to Bush.
Yes and yes.
I’m over 30.
I don’t remember the last time I called someone on a home landline, other than my parents.
That wasn’t clear. What I meant is that none of my friends have landlines either.
No (in fact I don’t have a mobile phone)
Not from the USA
Neither myself nor Althea have a landline.
We are voters in a swing state (WI).
I’m 32 and she’s 26.
Yes, I became one a few months ago.
Yes and yes.
Another double yes here.
