How disappointing, in the show's last episode she had a cell phone.

I really hope something happened to her cell and that's why she's on the payphone.

i think its better with no cell phone.. i dunno why.. makes it more intersting.. is she going to be able to return the call on time... dun dun dun.......

everyone's looking at her in the background..

Glam Sugar...good call! I was about to effuse on how Carrie is so low-tech except for her laptop. I heard that AT&T are going to get rid of all payphones in 2009!!

i was just about to ask do payphones even work?
they should work for emergency though, but i'm so use to cell phones that i would probably just ask someone on the street to use their cell phones.

i know carrie did have a cell phone before- remember when big called her and it said 'john'? she also had a pink on shopping one day. cant wait to see the movie!

I think that's part of her charm
But laurel9894 is right, at the end of the last show she did have a phone!

She already had one...so she's gone backwards??? Maybe she lost it or something...

I never understood how these women could be so fashion forward and modern in every sense of the word yet not have cell phones! I remember Samantha having one and maybe Miranda too and of course in the final episode Carrie has one. Weird.

Do these pay phones actually exist in NYC still? I feel like all the pay phones are either vandalized or gone.

Good point katday -- That is how we found out Big's real name at the end of the series finale! How could I have forgotten.

see here's my question. she had a cell when miranda went into labor - but that was from miranda. then she had the pink one all through season six cause she talked to 'the russian' while he was over seas - and then in the LAST scene of the finale - you see big's name on her cell...so where did the pink 'blinged' cell go?

Right! I totally forgot about that last scene where you see Big's name on her phone.. Maybe she'll go back and forth in the movie between cell phone and pay phone.

Sorry Geekette's but payphones are cool; esp. phone booths. They are charming.
I do like technology but it can be too much and tends to make people self-centered and materialistic, in general.

She had one in the last episode, that pink Swarovski crystal one...

I hate pay phones!

she probably spend all her money on shoes and bugs , she couldn't pay her cell phone's bill!

She had cell phone in season 2 also. The scene was: Big was cooking veil for them and Miranda called her asking where she was because they had dinner plans. The episode was "The Man, The Myth, The Viagra". I always wondered where that phone disappeared.

Payphones are disgustingly dirty and unless someone held a gun to my head I would never touch one. I hope she used some sanitizing spray our a Lysol wipe before putting her mouth near it. Gagging just thinking about talking on a public pay phone!

i neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed that bag!!!! OMG

Yeah I wonder what happened to her cell phones. She has had like 3 of them.

who uses those anymore?

Those things still exist?

I don't even watch this show (movie), but - yech! The few pay phones I've seen in the last few years are just gross looking! I'd never just put my face up against one. (I know - it's movie magic here though!)
