I could think of plenty of times where being able to keep in verbal contact with someone 24/7 with no
extra charges for long distance is either essential or far more practical than land lines.
For one, any businessperson that has family and travels, let alone one that has children. Hotel phone rates are ridiculous, and while there is no monetary value one could put on being able to tell his children goodnight, if there's a more practical and cheaper way to do it, why not? Or take the time I ended up piss drunk across campus wandering around...dumb decision, but thankfully bumped into someone that had a friend of mine's number so he could come and pick my dumb ass up and keep me from getting a PI. The ability to call a taxi while intoxicated rather than driving home one's self....I could list more. There are plenty of intangible and safety issues that cell phones provide a cheap, reasonable solution to--and I don't think they're going away anytime soon...
