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
