I think you are generalising quite a lot here Tealeaf. I have a mobile phone and have had £20 credit on it since January...I have just checked and i have £18:47 credit still on it. I hate mobile phones and only carry one to appease my husband and daughter.......I rarely use it to speak on. I prefer to send a text message....this does not have any impact on the people in the vicinity and they know nothing of my business either. Maybe I am in a minority.....but I am sure there must be other females out there who you do an injustice to.
