I was really tickled pink a few years ago when my husband finally relented and bought himself an iPhone. He did not have a cellphone for years and resisted the idea. I would tell him, how in the world am I supposed to keep track of him without a phone? Well, that was probably part of the reason he didn't get a phone. But then he realized when he began to do freelance work for newspapers that it wasn't a good idea for interview candidates and sources to call him on our home phone. For one thing, I might mistake the caller for telemarketer and say something rude. For another, we almost never answer our home phone. It's an annoyance when it rings, and we leave it on in answering machine mode. I'm not even sure that I know how to answer a call on it since our old landline phone broke and we had to buy a new phone.
But a cellphone, I'm very comfortable with and even though other real estate agents don't tend to use their cellphones for telephone calls, I'm still Old School that way. I will say it's a bit irrating when my husband forgets to turn on his cellphone so I can't reach him, but maybe he prefers it that way, LOL.
