The Thing About the 2 Phones

Phones, phones, phones everywhere you look! When did we become so obsessed with them?

Human beings generally love to talk but nowadays, having only one phone does not seem to be enough. Once upon a time people would stare at you funny if you had two phones. These days you may very well be the odd one out if you don’t. So since we know that a person can really only talk on one phone at a time, what is up with the ‘two phone phenomenon’?

I have two phones. My ‘good’ reason is that I need a daytime phone and an evening phone (bite me). Besides, one of them is really tiny and can fit neatly into the smallest of cocktail bags.

There are a lot of people who genuinely can’t get away from it because they have to have a work phone alongside their personal phone. For most of us though, that couldn’t be farther from the truth – especially if you’re Nigerian. For example, Nigerians in Nigeria need to be on at least two networks because you never know which one is going to go down on any given day. Now, with the advent of the new networks that let you make international calls for next to nothing, Nigerians in the U.K. are getting used to having two phones too! I mean, why not? You can call people back home everyday now and not feel the effect on your wallet.

If you don’t fall into either of those categories, then you probably fall into the category of people who want an iPhone but also want to be able to ping on a Blackberry. And if that’s not you, maybe you have a Blackberry (because those are almost essential now), but you need a backup phone because you never know when the phone is going to decide to show you that spinning clock (you know the one I’m talking about...mm-hm).

Still don’t fit in? Then you probably have one of the other phones and everybody keeps asking you ‘what’s your PIN?’ and why you’re not ‘on BB – which then gets you thinking that you need a Blackberry... and you probably do. Or maybe you just need an iPhone. Or a Samsung Galaxy tab because you like to be different. Whichever one you fancy, go on over to www.u-wantit.com and snag yourself a great deal!
