I mess with my mobile phone features alot...but about the only thing that I tend to do with my home phone is delete all the caller ID calls that I don't want to keep records of - all the time! what a hassle!! I do have one really cool thing on my home phone though that saves me a lot of money since my friends are all spread out - and that is unlimited long distance within the continental US - that is the BEST thing I have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mobile is pretty old so it doesn't have many of these features. Ones it has and that I use are: speed dial (if that means where you have a list of names with their numbers programmed in), forwarding (of text messages), phone book, clock, alarm, caller ID (name), voice mail, basic text messaging, call records, different ringtones and volume, and calculator.

I don't have a cell phone, but my home phone has caller ID, and I use the phone book and auto dial features quite often.

Just caller ID. I don't know whether or not it even has any other features.

Other: 2-lines, speakerphone ...many of these don't apply to me because I don't use a cell phone.
Also, I dislike call waiting, so I wont use it eventhough it's popular.

Yes, mine has a flashlight. I discovered it by accident, but ever since it's been pretty handy in the car or somewhere. When I'm not driving of course.

Phone book, caller ID, and voice mail. I don't care about anything else.

There are features I use by default and features I make active use of. For example, my phone has a 'wallpaper' background, but frankly I wouldn't care if it didn't. It has a camera and a radio too, but I could live without them. The things I *want* my mobile phone to have are caller id, a 'phonebook', txt messaging (and the ability to store at least 100 messages), an alarm clock and an ascending message tone that can wake me up at 3am.

100? My phone can store ten messages. Even though it's very much not a trendy phone, that's the only thing that I find really irritating about it, apart from the cost of calls and texts.

Of course, that's only if things go *really* bad. I have 144 messages on my phone right now and they cover a 5 day period.

If I got that many text messages, I would go insane. I get maybe one a month, with the occasional flurry.

Not to brag but my phone can hold 300 text messages and 500 pictures! My phone has more digital capabilities than my camera. Especially in the photo and storage areas, it exceeds many other devices out there. The technology is really crazy.

I hate my mobile phone. I don't want one at all but it does come in handy every now and then.

I unfortunately have to carry one. At least it comes with all these fun gadgets I can play with. Ha ha.

Phones have these features? WOW! I think I use the buttons on my phone. Yes I have a cell phone albeit it is a banana/brick phone. So what if I live in a lead bubble and am not in with the "times." I have better things to do than yak on a phone for days on end (filling out 644 surveys is one of them)
