My cell is on fye-yah!

That message alert on your phone is not the late-night call you were waiting for, but it might be just as good (riiiight). Cellfire has launched its nationwide phone service for Cingular customers, and more carriers are on the way. Only a few businesses In Cali have bought in, but the concept is great. Sign up, download the mobile app, get coupons on your phone and redeem them by either showing it to the cashier or have them scan the bar code on your mobile screen.

It just makes sense that people can make more use of one device in even more practical ways than carrying envelopes full of dead-tree discount delivery devices. Maybe you can even beam your number to that cute checker. ("Is this the checkout line? Well, I'm checking you out. Giggity-giggity. Aw-right.")
