I've done it ... and more for my roommate, too.

Well, I finally got a cell because it's much easier as a blind person to get out the phone than to go searching for public phones. Also, it was even more useful when I had computer consulting jobs and had to travel to folks' houses. I could just call them to keep a look-out for me when I was very close, instead of trying to find a phone in a residential area.
