Saturday Six – Episode 294

By now, I hope your Thanksgiving food coma is wearing off and you’re up for answering a set of six questions. This time, we’re talking about the technology you love to hate: your cell phone.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend!

  • First to play last week: Frances of Diana’s Little Corner in the Nutmeg State. Congratulations!
  • (According to the rules, “First to Play” requires you to be the first to include the link to the specific entry in which you answered the questions, not just the general link to your blog.)

Here are this week’s “Saturday Six” questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal…but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! Permission is not granted to copy the questions to message boards for the purpose of having members answer and play along there. Enjoy!

1. How often do you use your cell phone in a typical day?

2. Do you use your cell phone more for making calls or sending text messages?

3. What is the highest number of text messages you’ve sent in one month?

4. What’s the highest cell phone bill you’ve ever received?

5. Take the quiz: What ringtone suits your personality?

6. Have you ever used the tune from #5 as a ringtone on a cell phone?

If you have a Reader’s Choice question you’d like to see asked (and answered), send me an email! I’d love to be able to include it in a future edition of the Saturday Six.

    NO need to play this week, I do not have a cell phone anymore. I’ll be back next week.

    1. How often do you use your cell phone in a typical day?
    –Often less than five times (for actual voice calls), but some days more than that. The work phone I sometimes don’t even use once…for several days.

    2. Do you use your cell phone more for making calls or sending text messages?
    –Text and email.

    3. What is the highest number of text messages you’ve sent in one month?
    4437, June 2009

    4. What’s the highest cell phone bill you’ve ever received?
    Somewhere around $400.00, there was some proration debauchery going on. I made a phone call and it was lowered to the expected $150 that month.

    5. Take the quiz: What ringtone suits your personality?
    My Humps by Black Eyed Peas.

    6. Have you ever used the tune from #5 as a ringtone on a cell phone?
    Absolutely not. I hate that song with a passion.

    K, I’m up. Forgot to tell you when I actually posted the darn thing. ;-)

    1. How often do you use your cell phone in a typical day?
    Once or twice. But that’s mostly because I get some tweets sent to it. If that were not the case, I might not pick it up all day on some days.

    2. Do you use your cell phone more for making calls or sending text messages?
    Sending texts. I love SMSing, but I don’t care for talking on the phone. Too much idle banter and uncomfortable silence.

    3. What is the highest number of text messages you’ve sent in one month?
    I don’t know, but I’m sure it’s well above 500.

    4. What’s the highest cell phone bill you’ve ever received?
    Well, it’s static now that I am on a plan that allows for unlimited texting, and I barely ever make calls. But about ten years ago I remember racking up a 200 dollar bill.

    5. Take the quiz: What ringtone suits your personality?
    Super Mario Theme.

    6. Have you ever used the tune from #5 as a ringtone on a cell phone?
    No, most certainly have not. But I do have the victory fanfare theme from Final Fantasy as my ringtone at the moment, so I guess that’s close. Before that, I had the communicator whistle from Star Trek The Original Series as my ringtone.
