    I don’t use Siri much, either; but I have found that when making a phone call with my Apple Watch , it is the easiest way to use it. I am always only calling someone who is in my contacts, anyway (usually Bobby); so I just say “Hey Siri, call Robert” , and she makes the call for me.......... easy-peasy !

    I text more than I call but will try it out with my daughter later...she's busy now.

    I do text on my iwatch occasionally....not type but talk to text.

    I wish I had one as well, @Ken Anderson. I think they should be legal here for public events such as church services, concerts, lectures, opera, etc., perhaps with a license. The proprietor could immediately cut it off in the case of emergency.

    I don't think that counts as distracted driving.

    I do follow all these rules of etiquette, except turning it off in church. I need it so that I can film the weekly sermon, and post it to Facebook.

    I usually get a good belly laugh from listening to people shouting into their phones at Walmart about their personal business . . . . "what size pads did mom need?"

    Hello Gloria!
    Last year my pastor asked me if I would live stream sermons to Facebook to allow people that were unable to attend services to hear the Word Of God. I'm hoping at some point we will be able to live steam the entire service!

    I have a Cellular Telephone, but I don't even know its number!:D

    I keep in in my car's console under constant charge, so it will be fresh and dependable if I should have to report a Freeway Accident.

    To me, this is the only mature reason or owning a cellular telephone...all other uses are purely juvenile fluff.

    I pay $20 for 90 days of service...that's $6.67 per month.

    That would be great, Ken! Let it have enough broadband RF output to jam a signal within a 10-yard radius.

    I use my lost especially from boat to boat when one gets on fish and calls the others a real lifesaver, weather alerts on the water also and weather radar disconnected my home phone as most of my friends are not in the sticks as I am so not much use in it as most calls long distance going and coming in be lost without it. In my fishing it really is necessary keeping in touch.
