My mobile phones (cell phones)

When I got my first mobile it was for emergencies, in case I had problems with my car that sort of thing. Then it became useful on weekends when I was at football with one or more of my sons and my then husband was at another football match with one or more of our sons. We could keep each other up to date with match progress.

Then I got involved in the running of first one then two teams, before becoming club secretary. This meant that I needed to make more calls and texts to a variety of men and some women. Passing on information, such as match times and places. I found at this time that I was adding credit to my phone at least once or twice a week. It soon became apparent that it would be more cost effective for me to get a contract phone. In some ways this was good for me, it also signalled the end of my marriage, although I didn’t know it at the time. As I was no longer watching my usage carefully my rate of text messages in particular increased. My husband did not approve of the amount of time I was spending on my phone. He became suspicious, although he had no reason to be. He began to check my phone regularly, then my phone bill, this in turn led to him checking my emails and listening to my phone calls. It didn’t matter as there was never anything untoward. I was just chatting to friends and running a football club, no big mystery or sinister goings on. But he wasn’t satisfied. He made me paranoid, which in turn made me secretive.

Eventually I resorted to buying a second contract phone in secrecy. My intention being to spread the calls and text across both phones. The new one being kept on silent, in my bag so he wouldn’t notice it. However a few days later I received a letter from the company I had bought it from confirming the contract details. My then husband made the big mistake of opening that letter. We were both furious with each other. He was mad with me for buying the phone behind his back and I was furious with him for reading a letter addressed to me. For me this was the last straw and I vowed to divorce him from that moment. He could not understand how a phone could lead to us getting divorced. Just could not accept that it was just the last straw after everything else.

At around this time the contract of my original phone was up for renewal, he demanded I give him that phone as he now wanted it and after all it was in his name. So I was down to one phone again. A few months later I quit the football club as I was having problems with communication with the chairman who was also the manager of my team, which my son played for. (my wonderful husband! Had taken it upon himself to wrongly tell the chairman’s wife, that her husband was having an affair with me). We could no longer work together. That cut down the number of calls and text I had to make drastically. Then I met N, and we began our relationship, when I was at home we would chat on msn then when I went to bed we would continue to chat either by text or on the phone. Although I was in my room with the door shut and the radio on my husband would listen at the door. On several occasions he burst in through the door trying to grab my phone to see who I was talking to. One night we were fighting over my phone and he broke it. I was beside myself.

Next day I took my phone back to the shop for it to be repaired, this took several weeks so in the meantime I bought my self a pink Motorola v3 as a top up phone, swapped the sim cards over and now use that as my main phone. Eventually I got my Samsung back repaired free of charge. I now use the top up sim in the Samsung which has become my private phone. The number is only given to a very few people, a couple of friends and lovers, not even my family have this number. It very rarely rings but is mostly used for text messages.

My Motorola memory is often full as I cant keep deleting messages quick enough. This morning I have been exchanging text with two different men, approximately 10 text back and forth with FF very early this morning while I was still half a sleep, I still haven’t replied to his last message asking when we will have lunch together. Then all morning I have been swapping hot text with GPG who is a new prospective lover. I only gave him my mobile number yesterday, we have chatted on AFF and msn for a week or so. At this moment in time I have received 18 text from him and its only lunch time. I did go quiet when I switched my phone off for an hour while I was at hospital with one of my sons. On my phone right now are many texts from GPG , some have already been deleted. A couple of jokes that were sent to me last night, by some of my friends, a few messages from my contract supplier, a brief conversation with PL from last night, a few messages from close female friends, a few from SL and a number from GB. A few email alerts from msn. One of which I have just received telling me I have a comment from a fellow blogger. Most of my messages to and from SL,PL and GB are on my Samsung.

When I look back at how I used my mobile when I got my first one to what is on these two phones now there has been an awful lot of change. I guess it reflects the change in my life more than any other visible thing.

As most of my pictures are taken on my motorola there are lots of those on there too. some more intimate than others. I have now learnt to put them on a memory stick to free up some of the memory not just on my pc but on my mobile too. Last week son #3 taught me how to get onto msn using my mobile so I have begun to do that too. Meaning I can now chat ( very slowly ) with my friends even when I cant get near the pc. I even wrote a short email on it last night. wow look at me technology at my fingertips....soon I shall be as proficeint as kids are.
