When do you use mobile phones?

The following is an evaluation of my personal, social and college related uses of mobile phone:
● The purposes I use my mobile phone for include communication with friends and family. This can be for a number of different reasons, for example it could be that I just want to talk to somebody, or I could be calling for a specific purpose e.g. asking about homework.
● I use my mobile phone in a number of different place, I use it wherever I need to or have the desire to communicate. This is an advantage of having a mobile phone, because as the name suggests, I am able to communicate anywhere, providing that there is a signal, I don’t have to be within my house to use the phone.
● The major benefits for me in using my mobile phone are that it is portable and can be used anywhere. A major advantage is that I am still able to use the phone even if my parents are on the home phone for ages as I can use my mobile. Another benefit, it that I can text people, this is useful I don’t really want to talk to the person, or are unable to contact them. In addition, all my contacts are stored in the phone book on my phone, this means that I don’t have to enter numbers every time I wish to text or make a phone call.
● The problems or disadvantages I have in using my mobile phone are that there is not always a signal, which can be a nuisance and that it is often more expensive to use a mobile than a landline and that if you are on pay-as-you-go, if you run out of credit you are unable to use your phone for communicating until you ‘top-up’.
● My mobile phone fulfils its intended purpose because it allows me to communicate anywhere, and I am able to both send text and voice messages using it. It stores all of my contacts and has a number of additional features which can be used at my disposal such as camera, games, radio, music player etc.
