I have a friend that has no cell phone. It's wildly unpractical for everyone in his life, but it doesn't seem to bother him the least bit. He has an iPhone, but no cellular service. He can only talk if he has a good wifi connection. I've learned to realize the limitation and we actually communicate via shared voice memos. It's nice, he'll send me an email with a voice memo attached and it will usually be between 4 and 8 minutes in length and it will catch me up on all he's been up to in a way that most conversations over the phone never do.
A spoken letter, or a voice mail. Sending messages like that sounds like a really neat idea and not really something that's currently available (or at least not used much, which is also interesting). More convenient than a letter, but more personal than an email or Facebook message. Am I missing something here? EDIT: Perhaps something for a future version of tin-can...
Actually, cW is my friend that I am referencing and he is working on making an app that will allow this functionality to be more widely accessible. Clive, wildly unpractical may have been a bit hyperbolic :)
That's awesome. Meanwhile I have a personal cell phone and a work phone I have to carry around with me at all times. :(
I have the same set up, work phone/personal phone. I wish my work phone wasn't an old-school blackberry or I wouldn't need the personal phone.
