How CHEAP mobiles and CHEAP calls ve changed the world around.

  • In older days people at railway stations/compartments were fighting to refill water bottles, now they fight for charging mobiles.
  • Unless objected scratchy noise from mobiles, often playing apparently catchy tunes at public places are acceptable. Once objected you are ANTI SOCIAL.
  • Arbit peoples can stop you on the way, act being in distress and ask you to use your phone to call the rescue rangers. (You will mostly help, though you are very tempted to scream out that mobile phones are meant to be private and all calls are not by default free or 1p/s.)
  • You can cross the busiest road crossing, ride a moving bus, study, eat, sleep and do all other things with the ear plugged to pair of white wires. This automatically powers you to be LOUD, if u r on a call. You are allowed to do this till you are killed on a road accident or like.
  • If you have a feminine voice and received a call from wrong number; possibility that you will get follow up crank calls, often at odd times. Can lead you to change your number too. Remember call are now free or 1p/s?
  • Dare you know the callers location from the phone number. Gone are the days when all numbers start with 9 and roaming cost you a bomb.
  • Person walks up to you and asks for a Nokia Charger or the one which is often different from yours. You end up with a sorry smiley and polite NO.
  • You no more wait or wish for an SMS.
