YES!!!!!!!
One reason I will *NOT* buy a "smart phone" is that in the mid-nineties, I
worked for a major telecom here in the US. I wore a pager, and was on call
24x7.365.25. I'll never forget the Sunday, with a friend visiting from out
of town, I got paged SEVEN TIMES, and most of it was because they didn't
know what they were doing.
You want me on call? Fine, PAY ME time and a half, or double time. I am
*NOT* otherwise available, except to friends and family. And don't bother
texting - I have that turned off.
Email I live by... but that's on *my* time, when *I* want it. I don't
carry a laptop up and back. As someone said, workstation, two monitors at
work.

I work to live; too many fools confuse the two, and management *certainly*
wants you to think that you should live at their beck and call.

Good points; I was thinking of that, and all the folks in the US who have
them, but can't really afford that money. And then there's the rest, who
*can't* afford that much/month.

Agreed.
