I'm the opposite - I get annoyed at people who are so proud of having given up their landlines. I wouldn't mind it so much if they were 'in the book'. My kids will want to ask someone to come over to play, to go to the pool, to whatever... and we'll have no way to get hold of them. They talk about how convenient life is for them, and it's all well and good until I need to get hold of them and can't unless they gave me their number.

I don't always have mine with me, so I can't just get their number while we're standing around at the pool and put it in my own phone.

I don't mind people having them or liking them or using them. I just know that there are some kids we haven't been able to invite to impromptu parties and such because it was their only means of communication and we didn't know their numbers...
