On my not-smart cellphone, I receive two or three text messages 
per year from my PSIL (pseudo-sister-in-law), and as many useless 
advertising messages from my cell provider. It's rare enough that 
I always wonder who in the room (or the great outdoors) is not 
answering their damn cellphone... and then I realize it's the 
special ring I assigned to incoming text on my own phone. 

The wife and I are just getting into a real estate biz (sideline 
for now) and will STILL not be giving out our home or cell numbers. 
Instead, we'll have numeric pagers (yes, those still exist) and 
will call people back at our convenience. 

Really, that's no more of an imposition on potential customers and 
biz partners than is letting your cell calls go to voice-mail 
while you are driving - as of course all responsible drivers do... :-)

When cellphones get smart enough that they can be used to 
manage and update a website (and have full mechanical qwerty 
keyboards, not those onscreen things that blot out 2/3 of the 
little screens), then I'll switch to a smartphone and figure 
it's worth paying the extra many hundreds of dollars. 

And by the way, how well do screencaptures sent to a twitter account serve people needing support and viewing on their cellphone screens?
