I don’t have a cell phone. ---

Last month I used 14 minutes talk time. Now solitaire is another matter. I’m assuming the poll question is referencing communications rather than apps use. ---

I actually used it this week for the first time in months, but I was out and decided to get take out on the spur of the moment. Ordering take-out on the run is one of my main uses for my cell phone. I think I have more restaurants than people saved in my contacts. ---

I spend a lot of time on it, at least 3 hours a week, but I only TALK on my cell phone maybe an hour a week at the most. My last monthly bill had 86 minutes charged, not including nights/weekends. Most of the time I spend on my phone are using the apps on it. ---

Mine is only for emergencies but since my daughter got an unlimited plan she calls and texts me ALL THE TIME. ---

Unfortunately, you can’t _change_ your vote. Well, if anyone wants to adjust for accuracy, take my 2009 “less than 30 minutes” and make it a 2012 “more than three hours” (since I’m assuming it covers “all phone-based activities”). ---
