I never thought I'd like the new smart phones but my DD bought me an ITouch and told me to play with it and see just what all I could do with one, no phone plan needed for an ITouch and if you have wireless internet it connects and will connect free to any wireless available. It's amazing. DH and I have the Iphone now. I love being able to have instant access where ever I am. All I have to do is text one of my kids and it's instantly read. I usually text call me. LOL.
