>> I have never heard anyone talk about being afraid to answer calls because they would have to pay for them. I think it is a non-issue.

Sprint has made that a non-issue for me. The first minute of any incoming call is free. That's plenty of time for me to dump the call if it is a waste of my time and money.

We're in good company, John. In response to a question at the shareholders' meeting, Dr. J expressed the opinion that caller pay issues weren't a deterrent to the growth of cdma phones at this stage of the market's development.

Everybody I know has a cell phone.

It's clear that we haven't met. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to write that. :)
