5. I don't get calls on my cell phone from 800 numbers.

Telephone solicitors are not supposed to be calling cell phones ever.

I've only had my phone since 1996 or so.

And a Go phone (at least in my experience) is one you don't get from the cell phone provider, but instead purchase somewhere like Best Buy or Target, slap the activating card from your old phone into it, and you're good to go. I've had to buy Go Phones a couple of times when I've killed my regular cell phone well ahead of the time to replace it with my provider, and wanted an inexpensive replacement.
