I managed to go without a working phone (dropped every call I answered) for almost two years, then when Mom and I split up and broke up the family plan, I managed to not get a new plan for almost another year. It was awesome. Now I've had a new number for about a month and already a neighbor is bugging me, "I tried to leave you a voice message, but it's not set up." Like, omgs, no, why are you trying to contact me? Stupid phones.
