Been without one for about a month - it's great.
Apart from not being able to exchange a message or two with Maria in the daytime while I'm at work, I don't miss it at all :y
-
I feel nekkid without mine but then I fix telephones (well at least until the end of the month where I am made redundant)
-
Mine's no bother. It's when you start telling people the number that they become a PITA. ;D

Mine gets very little personal use, but I have to have one for work, out of hours support etc.
Apart from that I would happily not carry one, would like to keep one charged up in the car though, for that you never know moment.
-
i sometimes wish i didnt have a mobile. rings none stop somedays. but self employed so have to own 1.

i lost mine last thursday night and feel absolutely gutted.
for two reasons,really. First it's a major part of my life that's gone and so it's a major PITA to not have it! Second, i got out of the habit of monthly backups (messages, contacts, appointments, photos etc) and so have now lost three months of data! It's caused me lack of sleep!
i appreciate this may seem extreme but i'm really frustrated! not to mention the hassle of getting a replacement. oh - my - god! bloomin o2!!
It only got lost somewhere in between putting it in my pocket at the end of work and getting to my front door so a 20minute window! i've quizzed all the staff, cleaners, put up posters and rang it for ages trying to find the noise.
still looking......
least i have a couple of spares for some sort of contact! :y
-
i fix phones to! i hate mobiles i spend all day fiddling with axe10's and similar equipment
i decided not to have a mobile along time ago i just use swmbo's its free :D
-
Mines there for one simple reason, for people to contact me if they are desperate.
I Never put credit on it unless it's an emergency. I have kept the same number from day one.the number is now being used in phone number 6, maybe 7 and am ready for a new second hand phone. (Tunnie never replied when I got cheeky asking on discounts for a couple of phones he had in an older ther (N70 was one of them)) Total credit ever put into my phone I reckon is £35 and most of that has been wasted not putting the phone lock on. ;D ;D

I hate to admit it but I feel totally lost if I go out and forget to take my phone :-[

So do I, but that's because both of my watches are currently broken so my mobile is my only means of telling the time. :'(

Exactly why very few people know my number. Including work (except immediate colleaugues) who pay for it ;D
-
I rarely use mine, the daughter has only got a mobile and no landline, so I use it to call her because its cheaper and thats about it.
-
I need one......I have to be able to contact my office and so do they......i know I have a voice radio in the car, but thats only good for about 5-10 miles radius of Swindon
-
I have two one is for work on call engineer :D oh and fire mashall when not on call 24/7
The other is my personal phone for texting a strange women ;)
-
I rarely use mine,maybe twice a week. My daughter has offered to give me her blackberry as she now has one from work and has also just got an i-phone.
I was a bit too embarrased to tell her that i dont really know what a blackberry does,i just hope i can make an occasional call on pay as you go with it. :-[ ;D

I must confess to being something of a 'tele-phobic'.....I dislike the sound of the intrusive/nagging/inconvenient ringing and calls always seeming to bring bad-news! :'(
......but, I do have a mobile, but rarely use it; except for 'emergency-use' (car breakdowns, apologising for lateness, asking directions etc.)......I never have understood the constant wish/requirement to be 'available' when working, thinking, reading, shopping, walking dogs or socialising.
....and my pet hate is those folks walking `round the supermarket tele-shopping via mobile; do you want "semiskimmed or whole?" etc......Oh purleeeease! make a blinkin`list why don`t you! ::)
:o OMG!......`just realised: I`ve become a grumpy-old-woman! ;D
-
:-[ i feel in a minority. I can't remember the last time i didn't spend at least £50 a month on mobile use... and no i don't even touch Wap or other surfing ways yet!
i once managed 1200 txts in a month but usually it's more like 400.......
damn my fingers!!
-
Just had my bill through, allowed 300 free texts, i used 9!! I loved moby's when they were new but soon tired of them. I've got my own & a works one. They both stay downstairs when i go to bed, resulting in work & others moaning at me. Friends have got used to it now & use it as a joke that i can never be contacted as i see mobiles as the last loss of privacy or time out. If i manage to remember to take my phone to work i'll probably leave it in the truck!
I know i'm pretty vocal on here but i can choose to read replies/pm's when i'm ready. If you carry your moby 24/7 you're expected to be available 24/7.

My phone struggles to get a signal when I'm at home....

partly the reason for escaping to the tin tent..... Signal is p!ss poor out thataways, hence the escape from well meaning calls and best wishes... ;)
I'm with Guy on this one.... Bah Humbug!! :P

I agree with you Grumpy! ;) ;) ;)
I have to laugh though at those who still have their handsfree Lt Uhura ear piece in. ;D :y
-
honestly i cant live without my phone, i need it for its very reason, its mobile, and i always need to contact people when i'm nowhere near them, or be contacted! had mobile phones for 11 years!
Handsfree is designed for those who need to use the phone, but also have both hands busy, so it IRRITATES me when i see someone using a handsfree, and holding their phone infront of them!!
-
DippyDave u have my sympathy. We had to get a replacement phone off 02.., waited in for a week and after lots of expensive 0870 phone calls trying to get it actually delivered to the door.., gave up and ordered another one from another network. Now they are trying to sue us for a contract we don't actually have a phone for due to their incompetence lol.
We just keep telling them to bring it on lol.

swmbo will explain dave but i cancelled my o2 crontact while talking to customer services, " did you hear that click, That was the cancel direct debit on my online banking, see you in court"

All our lives & work commitments differ & technology continues to develop hence we're all commenting on this & many other issues on the forum. We can i this & i that but we can choose when to listen. My point is nowadays we're expected to answer the phone 24/7.
What happened to downtime? :-?
-
5 years ago I lived on the mobile except for sleep time. Have still got the (dead) Nokia handset which is now laughably large! and the in car handsfree kit.
I haven't used or had a working mobile for over three or perhaps four years. Don't miss it a bit. If (when?) the car breaks down then a friendly native would stop and help ring the breakdown services.

I have never had a land line so have always used a mobile - my only means of contact with the outside world. Got mobile broadband too so will prob never bother having a land line.
I think people who have had a land line at home since before mobiles were about aren't really bothered about having one now - they have no real need for it.
-
I've only just got a mobile phone that has any coverage when I'm at home. Not sure it's a good thing either. :-/

i live and die on my phone.....
Last months useage was about 1500 mins, 760 text and 3Gb of data, 14 MMS ::) and 300 mins of video calling
if i lost my phone i have a back up sim that was sent by Orange, that way i can make a phone call and be back up and running in minutes with the same number.
As for phones, shove one of charge and start using it, we seem to hoard that, and all my phones are kept immaculate
