I never liked cell phones- they cause brain cancer

Respectfully, I never had good reason to worry about cell phones from a physical safety perspective.
I was a network administrator for nearly a decade and frankly, I don't believe that a cell phone is any more "dangerous" than having a microwave or a television set in ones house.
They operate on microwaves and I figure as long as my ear doesn't get warm,....I'm probably okay.
I did just ask my wife, and I was incorrect. We pay $82.00 per month for our two phones. We have call waiting, voice mail, and caller ID. There is no roam anywhere in the US, and we each have 300 hours per month.
We use less than a hundred hours per month between both of us, but she said that was the lowest hourly rate available.
When we had a land line, we paid about $60.00 per month, and that came with unlimited long distance, but what good is a land phone if you are outside of the house?
Our kids can't drive yet, so they dont use cell phones for anything. My oldest is twelve and will be able to drive on public roads in two years. I guess at that time I will give her one of our phones, and keep the other one with us.
I grew up without cell phones, so I don't really view them as a necessity, but if you have one, I must admit, that I would feel safer knowing that my child had one of them with her for an emergency.
