Agreed with the previous poster. I've not given up a cell phone, but it is difficult to get by in the real world without it.

Think about finding a job. Most folks expect to reach only you, on a cell phone. Many employers expect the same.

Sure, it is a choice in a broad sense, but it isn't a realistic one if you want to take part in society.

It may be difficult to live without one, but I'm pretty sure that legally, the agreement to let the provider do whatever with your data comes at the point of activation.
