*Solely* due to responsibilities connected with aforementioned family situation, I hasten to add.
You know, that's how it starts. *g* I have two formerly cellphone-phobic friends who got cellphones because of family emergency stuff, and just weeks later they were among those people glued to their cellphones (not family crisis related I might add) and sending SMS all the time. Whereas I wasn't particularly opposed to cellphones just didn't see them as all that useful for me (I really, really don't like to talk on the phone), but got one as a gift from my utterly cellphone addicted brother, and I still don't use it a lot (as in a 30 Euro pre-paid card lasts like six months and I still have the model my brother gave me over four years ago, practically a dinosaur among cellphones...), though once having a cellphone turned out really useful for calling emergency services without having to leave that guy who had a biking accident I witnessed and had a head injury. So they have their advantages. I still don't like to chatter on the phone, thouh.
