Each 2 my friends from USA only have a mobile phone from group of ten..., why this thing doesn't uses of the high demand so often, as it is occurring in Russia?
Общаясь со своими знакомыми из США, я выяснил, что только двое из десяти примерно, имеют мобильные телефоны? Наверное, мы как обычно более расточительные, и невнимательные к своему здоровью, чем наши сверстники из-за океана? А может быть есть другая причина, которая не всем неизвестна?

Brad, do you hide something from us, why you want no gain for a mobile phone hitherto? Maybe here is dangerous reason, or this is my uprated thoughts only?

Actually, everybody has a mobile phone in the town I live in except me. I'm the only person I know without one. I guess I just don't want to be called into work on my days off

Здесь совершенно другая система,более геморроиная,кстати. В обязательном порядке нужно заключать контракт с компанией-проваидером,которая потом будет слать счет вам на дом,и т.к. накоторые американцы не любят extra bills,то они считают,что их чада,к примеру,могут и без телефона обойтись.

No MariM, You have that all wrong. When we do get a cell phone, we drop our land line phone. How can we be afraid of an extra bill? Life is an extra bill. And god has nothing to do with it.
Afraid of extra bills? Is that why Americans give the most money in the world to charity.

Just heard a statistics on the radio yesterday, about 50% of all adults in US have cellphones. Number of cellphone subscribers is exceeding the number of land line (regular phone) subscribers since 2004.

Wireless is the wave of the future. A.T.& T., Or Verison. Or whatever they're calling themselves these days? Are spending so much on wireless technology. But they're playing catch up.
Friday, the new itunes phone comes out. They teamed up with A.T.&T.. But did you see the price of the phone? $400. to $600 depending on the gb's and the plan. But a minimum of a 2 year lease. I don't rush into technology myself. So I will not be getting one of those very soon.
But right now. Time Warner cable has an offer of, Cable, internet access, and, phone for $97.95 a month. So I'm thinking about a phone. It will be weird though, I haven't had cable TV in my house since 1993.
