Good day everyone!!! i would just like to share that my cellphone is busted again. I had it repaired last december and now it's busted again. I know it needs to be replaced but still have no budget for it. Oh well, i guess i would have to wait. I'm just worried about the contacts or important calls... It's hard without it but i guess i still can live without it.lol! People now adays mostly have cellphones who got very busy lives who can't do without CP,unlike years before when Landline was the only way of connecting. Anyway we still have the internet but still it's not the same with having my cellphone. How about you guys, can you live without it? Are you ok without cellphone? Do share pls. thank you guys.

I can't imagine life without cellphone. The city life is too fast and connected, and without cellphone I would be greatly impaired in my work. But sometimes I would like to go off to the hills and live without cellphone. How much does a cheapest nokia handset cost in your place?

I'm not only okay, but I feel good without it!LoL You see, I do have my own cellphone but I don't use it that very often. I used to, but I've changed the way I look at it. Sometimes people would consider having a cellphone, mostly those new ones, as having a better social status. Which I we all know shouldn't be, since it's just a part of a technology this world offers us. For now, cellphone for me is just a very handy tool that I could use for emergencies. I always make a back-up list of my contacts, just in-case. It's always better to be ready, always prepared for anything that can happen.

For me its not like a need like air water and food, and the word of God. Of course basic needs are what we really need for survival. In the hierarchy of needs the first is our basic needs or the physiological needs then the next is the safety needs like security of body employment and security of resources and this is where our cellphone needs belong. Of course we need it for communication purposes and I can say that since you have already spend something for the repair of your phone, i guess it time to buy a new one.Its hard to function well if one of our means of communication is out, sor for your own welfare decide on what to buy, I guess if its for communication purposes you dont have to buy those fancy and expensive units. have a nice day and happy cellphone buying!

the only phones we have are the cellphones. we have a house phone line but we don't have a phone lol. so i don't like to not have my phone because i have no other way to get in touch with someone and vice versa. but i could go without it if i had to. im always dropping my phone in water and stuff like that so i have to replace it alot. but when i don't have it i check my voice mail alot. but as far as the contacts go, i have this thing on my phone where it saves them and if my phone gets messed up, lost, stolen or whatever i can look them up online and it will get automatically transfers them to my new phone.

I've been thinking about living without a cell phone for a long time. I know that my phone broke a couple of weeks ago, and I had to wait for Nextel to fix my phone. I definitely can say that it sucked. I can't even imagine how we lived without a cell phone 10 years ago. I'm always paranoid. I think that the one time that I forget to bring my cell phone with me, something would probably happen to me, like my car will break down, or something. I have also noticed that the number of pay phones seem to be non-existent lately as well.

Hi, dear You're problem is the same with mine. Of course it's hard without our PC that we usually have for anykind of matter exspecially if we are a clerk. We always affraid when our related contact us. Meaby our dollars can pass away than we meaby already have it now.And CP now all over the world people mostly have it. It's so blind cause we feel never know the world changes, our environment, family,friends, jobmates. We feel stuck. I agree with you about this. No Internet can't replace it cause CP is the faster comunication that always nearby us. I hope you'll get money and can fix it soon or meaby you can buy a new one. cause now it's cheap to bay a CP, mobile phone, GSM phone. see u around
