I’m concerned with our environment. Every year there are lots of cell phones being discarded. What are the ecological risks of cell phones?

I am getting a new plan and need a cell phone and want a good quality touch screen. Do you know the top touch screen cell phones out right now?

We are trying to find away ( if possible ) around having to pay roaming charges? Any cell phones users that do calls between US / Canada and vise-versa and have 1st hand experience in this area would be appreciated. Thanks very much. What about programming only our telephone # into the phone so she can only call us – vise-versa ?

I want a new cell phone((cheap))

my friends told me that cell phones actually use psychic power from your brain and that is how we are able to have conversations without using wires or radios. is this true?

Let’s say I have a Verizon cell phone, my friend has a Sprint cell phone, and my other friend has a Cingular cell phone. We all have the same area code. Is there a way to know if the three phones will tell the same time without actually putting them side-by-side and comparing them? Do cell phones use a cell tower to get their time? What do cell towers use? Do the various major carriers all use the same source to set their clocks?
Thank you for the answer re: networks recording when calls are made. Do all networks (e.g., Verizon and Cingular) synchronize off the same time source? Is this something regulated by the Government?

I’m a rogers user, and i know there isn’t much selection. That’s the problem. Anyone know some GSM cell phones? I know that the nokia n97 is going to be GSM, but it is coming out in the spring and i don’t want to wait too long. Anyone know some good phones?

My husband and I want to be on a family plan for our cell phones. We want to go with AT&T, but the phone I want is carried in one place and the one he wants is at another place. Can you buy a family plan cell phone at 2 different places?

Liquor and cigarettes are not sold to anyone without a driver’s license or state ID card? Isn’t it ridiculous that anyone can buy a prepaid cell phone and use it to commit crimes. I just saw on AMW that a murder victim had called prepaid cell phone thrice on the day he was killed. Police couldn’t find out the owner of the cell phone because it had a prepaid card. This is a threat to the national security as well if terrorists are able to buy such disposable phones.
