so freeheadset.org is a scam, sortof
 
They claim the headsets are free, and charge you ~4.50 shipping
Actual shipping cost is 60 cents
So they do make 3 bux and change on every headset... not much but they're not giving them away for free

i've never heard of shipping for only 60 cents, unless it comes in a small envelope or something, even so, i'm sure they have overhead costs such as running their warehouse (whereever it is), people filling orders, etc. so i'm sure they're not making much from that $3 if it is profit

i paid 3.90 shipping for my free headset.. and i was aware of the shipping before i ordered it..
But are you gonna complain about that.. 4 bucks for a heatset.. To be honest, i though 3.90 was good coming all the way from the states...

its not to promote safe driving period.. Its something to do with crazy brain tumour .keeping the actual phone away from your head and ear.. hence the headset giveaway... i dunno.. ask zlatko, hes know all about it..

5 Minutes X Once Every 2 Weeks X 7 Years = 400% increase on the side of the head the person used the cell phone.

Let me do the math for you.

52 Weeks In One Year X 7 = 364 Weeks / 2 = 182 Weeks. 5 minutes every time.

So 182 X 5 = 910 / 60(Hours) = 15.2 Hours.

You do the math from there. 15.2 Hours on the phone and the tumor activity in his brain increaded by 400%, and that was on a relatively low powered cell phone.

Take a look at your phone's life use..check how many hours youve spent on it.

It'll make you think twice about using it, it certainly has me.

On my new phone, 98 hours 22 minutes and 51 seconds of call time.

I guess I am already screwed.

I'm on my 5th cell phone, in over 8-9 years... I should be dead by now.

Just because you're not dead doesn't mean you can't live like you're about to die.
