This reminds me of something funny that happened.
Last week, Rogers (AT&T's Canadian division) called me and offered me a package that, for a month, would give me free voicemail, as well as a whole bunch of picture/video sending. He was surprised to find out that my phone doesn't do pictures or videos. And I hate voicemail.
I love my ancient old phone, with a 2-colour LCD display and 4 really crappy games. It can phone and text, it's fairly small, and I like how it looks better than a phone.
Personally, I wouldn't take an iPhone as a gift. I don't want to have that much power carried with me, it would just become a nuisance.
