When You Go Out Without Your Mobile Phone.....

It's good to be that way my friend, but what if one of you goes out without the other... do you like to feel that you're in contact then? Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution.

I guess you could take it and keep it turned off, just checking once an hour or something.

Yeah that is a good point my friend,and though it is very rare that we go out without the other,but when we do I do feel like I am not in contact with her unless I have the cell phone,or unless I am with someone that has a cell phone.

I think it must be nice to have the freedom of being without a mobile phone, but I still think they're a great security asset, and invaluable if somebody in your family needs to get hold of you urgently. Nevertheless, we all have a choice my friend, and your choice is as good as anybody else's. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution.

I wouldn't call it freedom. I certainly do need a mobile. With a child in school (the younger one comes with me) and my husband in a travelling job and my parents staying in another continent, it's hard to rely only on a landline especially when I am not at home. When I'm out, I'm always worried that someone is trying to get in touch with me for some emergency. When my older son fell down and fractured his leg at school at few months back, we were lucky it happened right around the time he was coming home and I was home to recieve the call....I can't imagine if it had happened earlier on in the day and they wouldn't be able to get to me because I was out of the house. There's no point calling my husband because he travels to work far away and wouldn't be able to get home on time to take him to the hospital. I'll be getting my mobile as soon as I get my first pay check.

It sounds a good idea that you get one then, my friend. I would save all the worry with your kids, and be a security gadget for you, should you be delayed or anything, at any time.

yup same here and I will be taking it with me today in case the damn car lot calles and says the part is in was surposed to be in yesterday!

I make very few calls also, but when I'm out walking or travelling alone, I always like to have it with me in case of mishaps. I also need to be "live" in case of family problems or in case somebody needs to contact me about darts, but sometimes I can go for days, even weeks, with nothing on my mobile phone. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution, my dear friend. xxx

A very sensible move, I might add, which also gives you the chance to charge your phone whilst you're out, and obtain your freedom from needless calls. There are always phone boxes and pay phones you can use whilst out, as long as you have the numbers with you. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution.

You know I do use those phone boxes once in a while. I remember there was a time when you didn't want to take too long in the box because someone may be waiting to use the phone. These days it seems I can take as long as I like without worrying about that. Times have changed.

Awwwww... how sweet! Keep him baying at the door my friend, and if you want to go out without your mobile, do so. It can be a comfort to have it with you though, in case of emergency, or mishap, even if you don't switch it on. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution, my dear friend. xxx

Hi Darkwing! haha..that is what he always tells me, "For Emergency" but I know you are both right. haha..Just want to be missed, I guess. Take care and God Bless!

Good for you, my friend. That's the only way to keep him on his toes. he he he. xxx

I think they were a novelty when they first came out, but they're dying off these days. Still, I like to carry mine for security reasons. Brightest Blessings, and thank you for your contribution.

Hi, Well for security reasons,why not but remember almost all the victims in the 9/11 had mobile phones. So, know where you put your trust.I'm not saying it's not good but what i am saying is that another safer and better invention will soon be introduced.

Lol... I think we can safely say that you are one hundred per cent reliant on your cell phone, my friend. That's not strange, because I put mine right by my pillow at night, on my bed, in case anybody needs to contact me urgently. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution, my dear friend. xx

No problem my friend. I haven't been here a lot as you can see by the age of my discussions. lol. Yes, I think it becomes a security thing to at least have your phone with you, even if you don't switch it on. Brightest Blessings, and thank you for your contribution. xx

Sensible reasoning, my friend. As long as one of you has a phone, people know where to find you, and if you find the need to contact others, you can. Yes, there are times when you don't want to be available to the world, but at those times, you can always carry your phone with you and turn it off. Then if you need it, for whatever reason, all you have to do is go "live" again. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution.

No, I'm the same as you. I don't like to be without it but I don't use it all the time. In fact, I can go a very long time without using it unless somebody contacts me. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution, my friend.

Almost frightening how we become attached to our phones, isn't it? Thank you for your contribution and Brightest Blessings.

Wow... busy lady! Now, one of those calls may have been really urgent, so I can understand you feeling lost without it. Not only that, the person who is trying to contact you will be worrying about your well-being, such as I did when I was at yours. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution, my dear friend. xx

Yes, but are you secure? I like to have mine with me, even if I turn it off, for security reasons. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution.

Yes, that's all very true my friend, but if I don't want to be disturbed and yet want a feeling of security at the same time, I will take my mobile phone out with me, and keep it switched off until such time as I may need to make an emergency call. You don't have to be tied down, just because you have it with you. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution.

Ha ha ha... and mine is on my desk, beside the computer. Some of my contacts only know my mobile number... they're not aware of my landline as it isn't registered in the phone book. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution.

No problem, my friend. It's nice if you can manage without a mobile, believe me, but once you have one, it's very difficult to manage without it. You're a wise lady, indeed, my friend. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution. x

Hi Wiz... yes, I know exactly what you mean. There's always that nagging feeling that somebody might need to get hold of you the time that you don't have your mobile phone with you. Brightest Blessings, my friend and thank you for your contribution. Take care.

I find pay as you go much easier and less costly my friend. You'll be making a good move to change. The phones cost more, but over time, they work out much less costly, and you only pay for what you need. I agree that when you have young children and wish to know their whereabouts, a mobile phone is a must. It could save a lot of heartache. I think schools often use them now if your child is taken sick, or there's a problem of some kind, so you would need to have some sort of contact with them. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution, my dear friend. xxxx

Yes, I can believe that, my friend. Quite a number of people are unaware of how texting works, but I use mine more often than the actual call facility. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution, my friend. x

You do, huh? You don't seem very talkative! Thank you for your contribution and Brightest Blessings.
