| Do you think "Mobile Phone" is life Saver?? | | Mobile Technology launched in our county in 1996. at that only one company was doing there business in monopolistic way. the rate of the Mobile Phone set and the SIM card ( Connection) was very expensive. at that time only few of the country use the facilty. the call rate was very high. only high official could use Mobile Phone service just for corporate use. but, now a days mobile phone is like every where. arround 10 mobile companys are doing there business. people are getting dependent on it. the call rate is very low. the connetion and the various opportonites of mobile connection can be purchased in a very law price. you can call in every remote of your country or outside the company with a very very law price. this is why a lot people are doing there business and stay connectted by mobile phone. as you say it as a life saver i have to explain that mobile phone once acted to me like this two years back. i was in great trouble outside the whom town. at the middle of the town there was not a single house existed, my car was stopped in a middle of the highway and there was fear of robber. i just called the nearby police by my mobile phone and the patrol police helped me out... | |

So he puts me in the squad car and takes me to the county line (about 5 miles)with a stern warning not to be seen hitchhiking in his county again. So there I am, at the county line; BFE basically. So I start walking. About 2-3 miles down the road, I finally get a ride to Salem IL (21 miles farther). This is where I plan to get on the Interstate; unfortunately, it is now dark. After trying in vain to get a ride for 2 1/2 hours, at 10:30 pm I call it a night. Luckily, my step-son Joe lives in Salem, and was pleased as hell for Daddoo to show up.
