Do you think people should have two cell phones always?

I don't see why most people need a cell phone at all in the first place! It is just another expense, another money grabbing monster, another thing to "do" instead of dealing with the things you need to do. I don't see why people think they need to be accessible 24/7/365. Sorry, other than a doctor, no one is that important. And 99% of all calls are not important or necessary enough that they can't wait till you get home and check your mesages. So to think someone needs 2 incase one's battery fails, how stupid is that?!! why not just carry extra batteries? or better yet, tell them "I'll call you when I get home" and pay attention to what you are supposed to be doing and not yaking on the phone!

I don't even think cell phones are necessary unless you need it for your job. It's bad enough that people have one cell phone and are rude about talking on it anywhere as it is. So it is a HUGE NO for my vote.

I confess that I do actually have a cell phone, but I hardly ever use it as I find it mostly unnecessary. I don't feel the need to constantly be in contact with everyone I know. Most conversations can wait until I am home. I find people using cell phones everywhere very annoying! Hang it up and pay attention to what is happening around you! Watch out for that kid on the bicycle you almost hit because you were too busy talking or texting on it! Focus on driving if you are operating a vehicle! No time for the cell there! When was the last time you bumped into someone on the sidewalk because either you the other person were distracted by it? Ever been near someone at a restaurant who won't stop talking loudly on their cell making it impossible for you to carry on a conversation with the people at your table or booth? How about those morons at the theater or meeting who didn't turn off their cell and thus disrupt everyone else when a call comes in! I find these noisy/ringing devices so very very annoying I just want to destroy them all! Now even though I admit that I do actually have one I barely ever use it. I do like the fact that it is quiet enough that I often don't even hear it ring. I pay a whooping eighty dollars a year for it! Now because man has so embraced these portable transceivers we have all those ugly cell towers dotting the land and destroying the natural beauty of Gods good earth. Telephone poles and power lines are more then enough thanks! I realize I am very much in the minority with this but the more cells have invaded our lives the more I have learned to hate them. If you will entertain further response about cell phones... I posted this in a discussion "Could you live without your cell phone?" News flash. You are not going to die without a cellular phone! Your dependence on it is all in your head. You don't have to always be seconds away from talking to everyone you know. Most people talking on cell phones don't actually have anything really IMPORTANT to say. Everyone thinks that they do but if they knew the truth they might find what they have to say is really only important to them. Not always, but more often then not. Most conversations could actually wait until you can actually tell the person you want to talk to in person. People in the store who can't seem to buy anything before checking with the person who they love. Talk about insecure! Can't remember everything you came to buy? Make an old fashioned list. Probably takes less time then making the call. I can't begin to count the times I have had close encounters with other drivers who instead of focusing on their driving instead are texting or dialing or conversing with someone they could wait till they got home to talk to! How about the folks in the next booth at the restaurant who keep talking louder and louder on their cell because you have to do the same to be heard by the people AT YOUR TABLE?! Then they get all bent because you are interfering with their phone conversation. *sheeez The Zagat restaurant guide reports that cell phone rudeness is now the number one complaint of diners, and USA Today notes that “fifty-nine percent of people would rather visit the dentist than sit next to someone using a cell phone.” How many times have you collided into someone who was preoccupied with their phone instead of watching where they are walking? I’ve listened to strangers discuss in excruciating detail their own and others’ embarrassing medical conditions. In the past few years alone, men and women have been stabbed, escorted off of airplanes by federal marshals, pepper-sprayed in movie theaters, ejected from concert halls, and deliberately rammed with cars as a result of their bad behavior on their cell phones. With phones ringing in movies, weddings and classrooms, it's no wonder people want to tone down the intrusion. So what legally can be done to stop annoying cell-phone use? The cellular phone is convenient but not required. If on the road I pull over and stop somewhere before using it. Join the smokers outside the building if you need to shout into your phone. Don't be so rude. There now I feel a little better.

Well here's a question that is buggin me....when does it stop? Why just 2 phones? WHy not four? I mean batteries are unperdictable, they could go out on both those phones! Then what are you going to do? And if you charge 2, why not charge 4 and carry all four everywhere you go - you have them for the "just in case" reason in the first place, well, just in case the 2 die, you'd have 2 more to, hopefully, tide you over until you can get new batteries. And what about those batteries? How many of those do you carry? You can use cell 1 and it die and then use cell 2 and it die - and if you have batteries, you can replace them, but if you dont' - you're incommunicado! And since the point of having the phones in the first place is to be accessible 24/7/365....what about that saying -"better safe than sorry". And in the words of the mechanic on that hilarious movie " Long Long Trailer" with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, as the mehcanic throws in a huge chunk of rope and when Nicky asks "whats that for?" and the mechanic says "Just in case". and Nicky says "in case of what?" and the mechainc says "just in case". Four cell phones and batteries for each- just in case!!

Most of my friends use two cellphones always. We use two different sim cards. One is for our family and close relatives while the other we use for friends only. There is a distinction between the two because the family sim is being paid every month by our parents while the friends sim is an unlimited card which we use. We like to always keep in touch either by a voice call or text messaging and the sun cellular sim offers that. It's actually pretty cool because whenever we lose battery, we can just switch the sim cards into different cell phones if we need to. But sometimes it also gets tedious, especially when we don't want to carry bags and have to keep them both in our pockets.

I can't imagine why anybody would need two cellular phones, unless a person was going on a long drive by oneself under potentially dangerous conditions, say through a desert or through mountains in winter. But then maybe in remote places a cellular phone wouldn't work anyhow! I overhear lots of people conversing on their cellular phones, and believe me their conversations are usually stupid and unnecessary.

No, that would be silly. Far cheaper to just keep an eye on the charge and plug it in when necessary. Carrying two would be wastful and a bit silly.

My husband and I each have our own cell phones, but we only have one each. This is usually enough, though once in a while we will use the other's phone due to low batteries. We drive a truck team, and have two phones so that when one of us is in the truck and the other is in a truckstop or whatnot, we can still get in touch if necessary.

I think only very busy people *may* wish to have more than 1 cell phone. It may just be that they wish to have a private line for their friends. This would be acceptable. Otherwise, just remember to charge your phone lol... or alternatively, have a charged backup battery. You don't need 2 phones - just an extra battery. :)

Not necessary. You can have a spare charged battery with you. And when the need comes, replace it. Shouldn't take more than 2 minutes.

It is more convenient and cheap to buy an additional battery. For my phone, I purchased non-original one for $6, and I am using it for 2 years already, rotating them as needed.

It all depends on the person why they carry two cell phones. People I've known carry two cell phones because for one they multi-task - having one cell phone they use for their work or business and the other cell phone to keep in contact with friends and families. That is a great combination and it's always best to do that not to interfere mixing both family and business in one cell phone.

I think one cell phone is enough because having two cell phones can probably be a pain. Say I'm using one phone on a call and then the other phone rings - just too much doings at once for me.

i think it's right,my phone has two cell,my frineds always have more than two cell for them phone ,one have 4 cell,it's startling...

I do not see any need for it in the average family, it was not so long ago that it was an oddity to have a cell phone, and not very long before that that no one had one and actually did okay.

I don't think that is a need, If you charge regularly, having one cellphone is enough. I actually have two mobile phones, just incase things like that happens, or if the other phone has no signal, then I'll use the other phone that I have. It really depends on the person that owns the phone.

surely no! there are two situation I think first they are business needed or something like this,which offer them double identities. second they feel guilty in some way and be afraid of making direct interview at any time.in other words ,they need time to make their lie.

No, you might as well have one cell phone and two batteries (spare internal or an external charger with built in lithium ion battery).

Its not always about low battery coz the people who use two cell phone is because of thier busy nature they cant get all calls on one cellphone also some people use one cellphone for dialing and other only for recieving
